Hey there, I'm Marco.

Marco Zampolli

Industrial Product Designer

I am a curious observer by nature. What started as a childhood habit of "mentally disassembling" objects has evolved at Politecnico di Milano into a hybrid approach of both hands-on practice and team orchestration. I now see design as a multidisciplinary, interconnected universe where the Italian excellence of luxury craftsmanship can meet the functional necessity of democratic, accessible solutions.

My process is a balance of rigorous research and "scientific madness." Before starting a new project, I like to dive into a brand’s roots through deep, long research, trying to understand how my product can innovate in that specific sector. I approach design systemically: sustainability and ergonomics are never "add-ons", but the very seeds of the project — whether I’m modeling clay for a bathroom system or testing a 1:1 chair prototype in my own room.

I find my creative fuel beyond school. My transversal interests — from cycling to Santiago de Compostela to the lateral thinking of writing and digital photography — are essential tools for storytelling and building identities. What I love most about design is this unique opportunity to enrich a tangible project with one’s own humanity. It allows me to transform diverse perspectives into something real and meaningful that will be used by people, contributing something functional and authentic to the world.

I am constantly exploring. I lived in many different cities since I was a kid, so I'm used to frequently move from my comfort zone in order to push my limits. My goal is to transition into Integrated Product Design and Product Management, seeking international environments and professional opportunities where I can balance analytical rigor with bold, hands-on experimentation.
