About Valeria Piccioni

Senior Product Designer at Klarna

My dream job as a child was to become a maker, now I design meaningful experiences for humans.

I am a Senior Product Designer at Klarna, ex Accenture Song (Fjord). Throughout the years, I had the opportunity of making an impact on global brands operating in the FinTech, Banking, Entertainment, Healthcare, Automotive and Fashion industry, translating complex problems into digital solutions their customers have loved.

I love to teach and help humans get started as designers, growing our community of problem solvers.
