Hi there! I'm Riccardo, an Italian Product Designer living in Tokyo since 2010.
With 12 years of relevant experience in UX Design, Interaction Design, and Design Thinking, I spent most of my career in Japan, designing for startups as well as big corporations. At the moment I work as UX lead in Amazon.
I founded the TGD community, a place where designers living in Tokyo can share their experiences.
I can help with portfolio reviews, career advice, product critique, and strategy, especially for those who plan to move to Tokyo and work as designers.

He is very helpful in giving me confidence and good pressure to study. He also gives me good guidelines and also talks about the industry in Japan in general which is not knowledge easily found online.

One-off sessions with Riccardo
One-off sessions are a great option if you’re looking for specific advice on a certain topic.
We can define a strategy to prepare you for an on-site interview with a big tech company. I'm gonna review your case studies, find weaknesses, help you edit every aspect from Research to Storytelling and User Experience.
I can help you to set up your strategy, to change your career into UX design. I'm gonna give you some framework to follow, in order to start building your portfolio.
Let me help you to prepare for the onsite interview in a big tech company - we will mock a whiteboard challenge, and analyze your weak spots.
