Work Experience

2021 — 2024
London, UK

Working with the team at Toyota Connected North America, I lead the product and experience design efforts for Toyota’s Data Solutions platform, which powers day-to-day operations of business fleets across the world.

My objective is to enable customers such as AVIS or Hertz to manage their Toyota vehicles with confidence and speed. My work ensures they can diagnose issues, check current status of their fleet and have continuous access to Toyota data services in order to move their business forward.

2019 — 2020

Led a redesign project of native iOS and Android apps for a growing startup from London, bringing them closer in-line with each platform's design language. I solved for critical customer onboarding and interaction challenges and worked on consolidating common patterns into a common library for designing new solutions.

Manchester, UK

Working with Co-op’s eCommerce Team, I've helped design and develop a UI for their new online grocery shopping experience.

2016 — 2018

As a designer and frontend developer I help product teams reduce churn rate and enable customer success through user-centric design and execution, delivering scalable and adaptive software solutions that meet and exceed business OKRs.

2012 — 2017
Rome, Italy

I was responsible for leading creation and implementation of UIs for a variety of projects, from microsites and landing pages, through web apps and content hubs, working as part of a multicultural and multidisciplinary remote team.
