I'm Dante and I'm an hybrid designer, focused on Interaction and Visual design.
During my experience, I learned to easily switch from digital to physical products, acting from the very initial concepts and ideas, till the final products, taking care of the details, as a good Italian does. I have a huge interest in how design can improve our daily life, and how users play a key role in defining and shaping a good product that fulfil their needs.
In my spare time I sketch a lot (I spend a lot of money in pens, brushes, pencils), and I like to play music (of course!) and hang out with friends for a beer in a park somewhere, especially when there's still light outside after work time. Since two years, I'm willing to learn how to properly ride my longboard, but I'm still working on it. I have an insane addiction to music research and I really love to get involved in conversations around the topic (sharing is caring). Having dinner with friends is one of the things I enjoy the most, and I'm really comfortable in a kitchen :). Oh and yes...true pizza is only in Naples!
Projects
- HERE MapsMy position inside the automotive design team was quite hybrid. I worked mainly on UX and UI side and I was constantly switching from pure production to concepts and innovation, as well as bug fixing. I’ve been designing UX and UI solutions for OEMs which are now on the market, as well as pushing new concepts for navigation solutions across the entire car environment, involving data sensors, and designing demos for famous international showcases.
- farAWAYDescrizione progettoOften, due to a divorce and the following moving of a parent from what we call home, relations between children and parents tend to decrease in quality and time spent together. The physical part of a relation disappears very quickly. farAway is a system to strengthen relations between parents and adolescent children that have to face a divorce, something that can give the possibility to share simple emotions and feelings, in order to create intimacy, without using the verbal communication. A way to keep the importance of the relation between son and parent, the importance of the presence of each other in each other’s life, but at the same time, something not invasive, in order to respect what are the needs of an adolescent.
