About

🎯 Trying to land your first UX job?
I can help you stand out — even without big-name brands in your past.
Whether it's polishing your CV and portfolio, crafting case studies that showcase your skills, or preparing for interviews, I'll help you tell a clear story, think strategically, and present yourself with confidence.

I've supported many career changers, self-taught designers, and students with only personal projects. I know the challenges — and how to make the journey smoother.

💼 Already working in UX?
If you're in your first role — or navigating complex environments as a solo or embedded designer — I can help you level up faster. Most of my work is in complex B2B products: sales intelligence, fintech, and risk management. I understand the specific challenges of designing for power users, dense data, and stakeholder-heavy environments. If that sounds like your world, we'll speak the same language from day one.

🚀 Building a digital product?
I also work with entrepreneurs and early-stage startups, providing UX audits and actionable feedback to improve both user experience and business results.

👋 About me
I'm a Senior UX Designer from Italy with 7+ years of experience in B2B SaaS — banking, fintech, real estate, risk management, and sales intelligence. I hold a Master's in Human-Computer Interaction and a background in Cognitive Psychology, which shapes how I think about users and design decisions.

Beyond my day job, I mentor on MentorCruise since 2022, tutor for HCI courses at the University of Trento, and speak at tech events. I also run occasional workshops for early-career designers — check the links below if you want to join the next one.

I stay active in the field through conferences, design events, and the local tech community — so what I share with you reflects what's actually happening in the industry right now, not just theory.

🌍 Parity pricing available!
If you're in a country with different income levels, message me and I'll offer a custom rate after your trial.

📬 Weekly plan slots are limited — feel free to send me an inquiry to check availability.

⚠️ Availability note: I'm available for calls and mentoring after 6 PM CEST (GMT+2). Please make sure this works with your timezone before applying.

Maria Teresa kindly accepted my last-minute request at a time when I was very stressed about an interview coming up in just two days. She stayed by my side, offering thoughtful guidance and the best advice. Thanks to her support, I was able to face the stressful situation with confidence and preparation. I truly had a very positive mentorship experience with her. Thank you, Teresa.
