Founder of an Italian registered innovative startup, former fashion designer at Prada, and a working artist. That path isn't a detour from product development — it's the reason my products feel considered.
Fashion is a discipline of proportion, material and finish, made under real deadlines for people who will judge the result in a second. It trains you to treat the surface of a thing as part of its function, and to keep refining after it already technically works. Most professional software is abandoned exactly at that point.
So the tools I build for analysts, nutritionists and operators are held to the same standard as an object: clear hierarchy, no decorative noise, and a level of finish that makes people trust the thing they're putting their work into.
