I researched and developed a variety of digital products with the goal to design innovative prototypes within hospitality and creative industries. On top of R&D activities, I organized design workshops, upgraded processes and proposed new projects.

I worked in a fast-paced UX agency with clients ranging from the UK’s medical sector to local charities. My key activities involved planning and conducting user research to
construct user journey mapping, user interviews, usability testing. Those were then used for running qualitative and quantitative analyses and presenting findings in different formats to the stakeholders.

This 6 months research was for a government funded project to develop novel AI tools to foster creativity. I conducted 3 qualitative research studies on creativity support tools for creative professionals. This resulted in tangible prototype that was presented at the Creativity and Cognition Conference in Venice 2021.
