A 3 hours revolution

If you daily work on development of digital products, probably you faced these questions lots of time:
"How can I save time and money? How can I predict and manage risks? How can I be more efficient, creative and proud of my work?"

There's not a unique solution, but I can help with design.

In my design crash course I gave people a framework, tools and tips for improving the way they usually work.
It was a success for the entire group and for me: a win-win situation where they learn something useful and I had the possibility to prove myself and find new energy to invest in future projects.

Behavioural design in a nutshell

One of the things I like most of my job is the opportunity to learn always something new and doing that having fun!

My last experience was the workshop "Design for good" in Milan and it was great! It gave me the simple and effective tools for changing the daily behaviours of people combining design+psychology.

Unforgettable.

Top 3 talks from WUD Rome 2018

Inspired. Motivated. Aware. This is me after WUD Rome 2018.

When I bought the ticket for WUD I did not know exactly what to expect from this conference. It would have been my first experience and I've never heard exciting comments from attendants of 2017. Maybe it could have been the opportunity to make some training or networking.

In the reality I found the WUD essential to me: I can say that it filled me with a new energy and gave me a lot of emotions (I even was very close to cry when Federica Frangapane had her talk on immigrant routes).

The day was long and lot of speakers gave their contribution to the theme "Design for Good or Evil": you can read below my personal TOP 3.

Neuroscience pill: how to get better at work (and also in your life) with physical exercise

Lots of people believe that they can get great results at work only focusing all the day on their tasks. And most of them also renounce to their private life.

This is not the way! Start introducing in your daily routine a regular workout or a walk: this will change in better your person and your results at work.

You do not believe to my words? Well, you can trust on scientists.

After – Futuri digitali

After Festival 2018 has been a beautiful discover for me!

I heard about the event just few days ago thanks to Caffe Design folks (my favourite podcast!). I quickly organised a family expedition to Reggio Emilia with the idea to experience the city, that was totally new for us, and take part to the event.

As every festival, there were stands, guests, gadgets. But unlike the others I found interesting and concrete initiatives.

A journey into Japanese graphics

Everyone knows that Japan is very different from other countries in the world. I think that it could be described only using contrasting images: the quiet temples and the noisy cities, the kindness and the indifference of the people, the small rooms of cities and the comfortable ryokans in the villages, the no smoking prohibition in the streets and the restaurants where you can freely smoke with no restricted areas.

But i found something coherent in Japan: illustrations.
