### Bio in Notion
|
|
|
|
I grew up in a small town in the middle of Italy and when I was 18, I decided to move to Germany to study Psychology - and eventually become a new italian version of Sigmund Freud. _(Me not liking cigars was only the first hint that this vision was doomed to fail)_.
|
|
|
|
During my Bachelor's in Münster, I started questioning whether being a psychotherapist would be the right path for me. After various internships in quantitative research, HR and psychotherapy I moved to Munich to join the Amazon EU recruitment team and started my Master's in Industrial & Organizational Psychology at LMU. I kept working in the talent management space at Amazon and later in a People Analytics start-up, where I discovered my interest in UX. I then joined NavVis as a UX-Design working student, where I had the chance to professionalize my self-taught design skills, working on the development of two hardware products and a mobile app.
|
|
|
|
While I enjoy both Research & Design, I am mostly interested in the process bridging the two phases and in how to use Psychology to deliver products that are pleasing and user-centered.

# Role & Performance Objectives
|
|
|
|
**Sourcing Designer**
|
|
|
|
- Nailing the Sourcing problem space together with our PM and domain experts before moving to brainstorming and shaping solutions for our users.
|
|
- Leading the design and creation of new prototypes (ranging from low-fidelity sketches to high-fidelity Figma prototypes) and finding creative solutions to make our UI look great without compromising technical feasibility and consistency with the rest of the app.
|
|
- Reducing the value and usability risk of our product together with our PM and engineers by user-testing new and existing features with our customers.
|
|
- Anticipating the needs of our Frontend Engineers with detailed specifications and handoffs to reduce their guesswork.
|
|
|
|
**Design MGMT**
|
|
|
|
- Create and maintain an onboarding plan for new Designers, making their transition as new DPD @ Luminovo as frictionless as possible.
|
|
- Ensuring the growth of our Junior Designers, mentoring them to further develop their Design skills as well as helping them finding and growing their own area of expertise.
|
|
- Proactively support the People team in attracting and assessing design talent for Luminovo.
|
|
|
|
**Design lead**
|
|
|
|
- Build and maintain a Figma environment that is scalable and addresses the needs of our internal user groups (designers, engineers, PMs)
|
|
- Create and maintain processes that ensure alignment and consistency of design across all the product teams.
|
|
- Lead the continuous expansion of our design system based on the feedback and requests from our designers, and facilitate the transition to its digital twin in the Frontend.

# Working with me
|
|
|
|
- I really enjoy working in close collaboration and in quick iterations. So rather than presenting the whole bunch of work just at the end of the sprint, I prefer doing quick check-ins with developers during the process, so that both sides are aligned and flaws in the design or in the concept can be spotted early.
|
|
- I am really interested in understanding the technology behind the product, so please don't spare me with details about it! In case the conversation would get too technical for me I might ask you to "translate" it in a more accessible language.
|
|
- Sometimes you don't need actual customers to validate some design assumptions and your colleagues can become great test users. I will probably ask you here and then to test my prototypes and to give me your unfiltered feedback - no matter in which team you are. While a diverse testing pool is better, I understand that some people are very motivated to do it, some less. Please let me know in which section of this spectrum you are so that I can use my test requests wisely ;)
|
|
- I personally tend to prefer direct pings over emails for internal communication. I am also a big fan of short calls (or conversations if we both are in the office) especially when we need to explain or clarify something.
