About me
Communication is above all a matter of understanding people. There is no other field of work, I think, that can be compared better to a character study, than that of the communicator that tries to understand his audience. I begin to study communication because I wanted to be an editor, I stayed when I discovered how much more varied this field can be. My interest now go beyond copy editing and creative writing. During my Master Degree I specialized in User experience Design, and my skills include evaluation of user experience and usability, creation of wireframes and interactive mockups, information architecture and web design. To these I add a personal passion for Game design in an academic and analytical sense.

    CertificateLudi training school
     - Bergamo, Italy
    Ludi's approach for designing toys and games for children with disabilities is epitomized by their motto: "play for the sake of play". Rather than framing play as a rehabilitative process, they value the independence of the activity of play as an indisputable right of all children. During the Ludi training school the participants, who have different disciplinary backgrounds, learn how to evaluate and design toys for inclusive play. As a final activity, we created the prototypes for two toys working together with a child and his specific requests.
