The core of my interests is the human body and the culturally informed ways of decorating it and moving with it. Culture itself is shaped by intelligent bodies which move, work, relate to each other and to the environment in ever changing ways.
An enquiring mind and a sensitive heart led me from art - my first love - to fashion design; then I studied anthropology to explore dance and ‘cultural performances’ in general. Anthropology has provided me with lenses to look at the world without taking anything from granted
- that is also the key to creativity, someone says.
The search for ethics and the hope that humans could reach more supportable and conscious lifestyles brought me to explore the field of sustainability. I have learned a lot by doing research with Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore and still have so much to learn.
I believe interdisciplinarity and empathy are my strenghts.
I would like to keep improving my skills in qualitative research by exploiting both my creative and analytical sides, and have the possibility to cooperate with a team of vibrant and innovative people. I would love to focus on human centered design.
