New social role
Active involvement in the Fondazione Trentina per l'Autismo organization, where I could actually interact with the client.
Metadesign approach
Producing an advanced and plausible concept as a result, without focusing on manufacturability aspects.
Professional organizational tools
First personal use of Dataviz (Matrix, Venn Diagram) and other concept generation tools (Crazy Eight, Personas, Journey Map, Tier Lists).
Pysical models over drawings
The project development was mostly based on study models, wich eventually evolved into the final prototypes.
Lateral
thinking, spot-
on solutions.

Redescovering simplicity
Very often, this job leads to unnecessary complications. In this case, I rediscovered the value of simple objects, supported by strong concepts.
Thinking with hands
This project also confirmed my preference for producing physical models to propose ideas during the development phase, rather than drawings.
Back to the origins
I discovered a new aspect of design: the artisanal one, made of sweat and sawdust, with the priceless satisfaction of using a self-produced object on a daily basis.

Importance of history
Rediscovering Cisitalia taught me the importance of curiosity and research in every project.
Formal reinterpretation
This project trained me for a common challenge in the design industry: the formal rebranding in search for a new corporate identity.
3D modeling
The project gave me the opportunity to delve deeper into parametric surface modeling, using an unconventional software: ZW3D.
Hunger for improvement
This experience left me with the desire to improve my rendering and 3D printing skills, which I actually refined in subsequent projects.

Role of poetry
The relationship between light and ceramic material is common to all of the concepts. I am more convinced than ever of the importance of poetry in the designer's craft.
Importance of mistakes
Krakatoa is the result of a great deal of trial and error, from which I've always drawn something new. I believe that this is fundamental in a designer's career.
Boost on drawingss
This is a project that required a lot of sketching. This gave me the opportunity to refine this aspect of design and better define my style.
New softwares
Designing Krakatoa gave me the chance to deepen my knowledge of Fusion 360 and start using Blender for organic shapes and renderings.
In search of perfection
This project taught me more than any other to never stop at the first idea and be willing to start over, revolutionize an idea in search of the best possible result.

First steps
I went to a scientific school, so this was the project that introduced me to design for the first time ever and, in part, made me decide to take this carreer path.
Interior design experience
Casa Ariete represents an interior design experience, albeit small, going beyond the canons of Product Design.

Morphological reflection exercise
The first activities gave me the chance to think about the shape of an object more than i would normally do during a project.
Digital patterns
I enjoyed generating the patterns and discovering a new graphic vocation, always very useful in any product design project.
Mockups
For both of the phases, I also had the chance to produce many advertising mockups, training me further for the communication part of any project.
Freer view of design
I was able to express myself in a more provocative and playful way, representing a further opportunity for growth as a designer.

Digital illustrations
The need to create explicative slides for each milestone of the project allowed me to enhance my illustration skills with the drawing tablet.
Applied interviews
Even if conducted on a small scale, the interviews were crucial for concept generation and an opportunity to improve my user's study skills.
Group catalyst
During the project, I acted as a catalyst in the group dialogue, proposing the design vision that was then selected for the final execution phase.
Sustainably-driven project
Otto's sustainable nature has proven to be its real advantage: it is as simple to use as electronic shredders, but more tactile and gratifying, and has no load limits.

Never seen collaboration with the company
Being so close to the company during the design process encouraged me to get involved, ask questions to experts, and learn as much as possible about ceramics.
Management role
During the design process, I often found myself taking on roles related to the project's identity, research, dialogue with more experienced people in the sector, and product presentation.
