MyWaste is the project I’m currently developing for my thesis. It is a service and mobile application that aims to help citizens optimising recycling at home, giving smart advices in how to reduce waste production and becoming more sustainable, with the reward of annual waste tax reduction.

Starting point is door-to-door recycling method, which has been proven to be the current recycling methodology with the best results. Aim of my project is to improve more and more recycling results, starting involving the citizens, with a service that gives them the possibility of being an important actor in the process, receiving concrete rewards for his good behaviours.

MyWaste contains different features to interact with the user, as Binny, the personal sustainability advisor which offers the user a conversational experience through a chatbot to give to the citizen smart suggestions and help him in his journey in starting being more sustainable. An other feature are the sustainability journeys: simple game challenges with the objective of educating the user in his journey in being more eco-friendly and starting producing less waste materials.

Pickie is a digital service that selects for you the best solutions for organising your free time and trips based on your passions and interests.
It is for people who would like to discover and redefine their experiences of a place‭, ‬whether local or foreign‭.‬

The idea stems from a general lack of a platform with organised content or information‭, ‬specifically focused on events and activities‭, ‬on a more global level‭.

The project was monitored by Frog Design Milano during my Master in Interaction Design (2017) and was undertaken in collaboration with master’s colleagues Dipti Ganeriwala, Andreas Adam and Silio Keiser.

Homy is a device that works with machine learning process. It helps people to be warned about the behaviours of their personal household appliances inside their home place. Indeed, it advise you whenever the coffee is ready, the pasta pot is boiling, the washing machine has finished her job, etc.
The idea is to have a tool that gives voice to household devices whenever they have finished their job.
The device is devided into two objects. The first one is a microphone that has the task of doing the machine learning process. The second one is a lamp that will be switch on whenever the positive feedback from the microphone will arrive.

Homy is made of a microphone, an Arduino and a LED. learns through Wekinator, and it has two codes, one on Processing and one on Arduino.

The Walking Chicken is a funny little chicken robot.
The aim of the project was to personally design a mechanism powered by a simple battery to create a walking robot that could walk straight ahead, uphill and on a non-flat surface.
The instruments we had to create the robot were a laser cut and a 3D printer. This project let us understand the process and the difficulties of developing an object that has to move with a perfectly working mechanism.

Asendia is a Swiss shipping company that is interested in finding a new innovative service for its costumers to have something more attractive than its competitors. I developed this project with the collaboration of Diana Valdes and Dipti Ganeriwala during the master course in Interaction Design at SUPSI with supervision of Frog Design Milan. The topic we had to focus on was fashion online shopping.
Our idea was to develop a new kind of service that points in attracting new costumers with the possibility of choosing a sustainable shipping method. According to our research and investigation, sustainability factors are an attractive feature for modern online customers. The result was the development of a prototype of a plugin for online shopping websites that Asendia can sell to its costumers.

CubeClock is a mood clock developed to interact with the user taking into consideration his mood.
The clock was coded using Processing and is made of three simple cubes and a colorful background. The idea is to connect it with personal playlists, or spotify account in order to collect all together some of the must common user's everyday needs, as watching the hour, listening to music, creating also a positive emotional situation through the use of colors.

Create the best melodies with LoopBomb!
LoopBomb is an interactive game for kids with the aim of create a melody or creative sound through the collaboration of different players. The game helps kids practicing coordination and sense of rhythm, experiencing failure and improving personal creativity.
The game is for 4 people. When the central botton is clicked the game starts recording and you have to sing your melody or make your sound helped by 8 leds that will show the time passing by. Each player has 8 beats divided in 4 seconds. Afer 4 time records the bomb will "explode" and start directly reproducing the 4 recorded overlapped melodies in loop. Aim of the game is to continue practicing to create the best overlapped melody!

The SUPSI University in Lugano is working on the new university campus which aims to reflect all the modern possibilities from an architectural to an interactive way. For this reason, during the data visualisation course held by Fabio Franchino, we were asked to develop a project that takes advantage of the data that this new building will produce to create an interactive system available for the campus regulars.
Alberi di Carta is the project I developed with Andreas Adam. The idea starts from the wish to develop a personal sense of ecology in the people that will be part of the campus. We started with taking into consideration the data produced by the everyday printing action inside the campus combined with the general amount of recycled paper; with these numbers we developed a data visualization to show in a concrete and creative way the ecological impact of the campus.
Aim of the project is to make people understand their real environmental impact and to make them more sensible about their personal behaviours.

In 2015, during my collaboration at helios.bz, I worked on the realisation of the concept and visual communication part of the stand for South Tyrol at the Expo Milan 2015.
Together with the architect Manuel Benedikter, helios participated in the call for proposals presenting a stand concept that aimed at height, using a support of trunks and other sustainable materials. Food, music, culture and the panoramic view of the whole EXPO have created a 360 degree experience, and a stand that fully conveyed the taste and soul of alpine life.

During my working years at helios.bz I developed the wayfinding environment inside the Free University of Bolzano for the Bressanone branch.

The building’s architecture is structurally complex, with different intersections of stairs and corridors, and it is almost entirely made of cement. This sad grey environment gave me the perfect canvas to play with my imagination, allowing me to create something visible and colorful that stood out among the gray walls of the University. Taking into consideration that the University’s Faculty was Educational Sciences, I played a lot with shapes and colors.

Bici Bolzano/Fahrrad Bozen is a project I worked on during my collaboration at helios.bz with the Municipality of Bolzano which focuses on the improvement of bike experience for citizens and tourists in the city context. The project is developed on three levels: communication, information and marketing. A new corporate identity for cycle mobility has been created with a signage system that focuses on offering all the informations a cyclist needs (bike paths, bicycle parking, points of interest, etc.).

Via Transalpina is the result of an European project I collaborated to in 2016, curated by Eurac Research of Bolzano in collaboration with numerous partners, including helios for the communication and graphic design aspect. The project, which is focused on the development of a sustainable tourism, is a revisitation and revitalization of the Via Alpina Gialla hiking trails for senior target (55+) that starts from the city of Oberstdorf in Germany, through Austria, Trentino Alto Adige and Veneto with the Dolomites, up to the wild Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Slovenia, ending in the city of Trieste. For this project I created through helios Corporate Design, several brochures and flyers, a 120-page report, the website, and collaborated for the graphics of the App.

One of my clients during my collaboration at helios.bz was the architect Worfgang Meraner. I started with the revisitation of the logo, and then I developed the UX and UI of his website and app.

“Lust auf Fahrrad” is a project for the city of Hanover with the aim of improving the image of cycling mobility, making bicycle the symbol of a new urban lifestyle. For this project I collaborated with helios in the creation of the logo, taking the colors and shapes of Hannover’s logo and intersecting the two squares to create the shape of a heart, with a bicycle inside.

For the project for the “Cantina di Caldaro / Kellerei Kaltern” I collaborated at helios with other collegues in the repositioning of the company with the creation of a new Corporate Identity. Among the various things, we have been revising the logo, labels, cartons for bottles, stands, photographs and website.

In the last years I have been designing different logos for different companies and associations. Here are some examples I’ve worked on.

"Guida al nucleare" was my first bachelor project at the Free University of Bolzano. At that time the topic was quite current considering the forthcoming referendum on nuclear power. My goal was to try to clarify what nuclear energy was in practice, explaining its pros and cons, the role of nuclear power stations, the meaning of nuclear terrorism and the INES scale. After a long research and interviews with experts in the field I created a set of 6 booklets that explain very shortly everything you need to know about nuclear power. The texts, short but rich of informations, are combined with images elaborated with the "Scanimation" technique which, through the movement and the transformation of the images, are related to what the texts explain.

Pimpignegoli is a product design project developed during my Bachelor at the Free University of Bolzano in collaboration with Giovanna Bamba. The project was exhibited at the 2013 Salone del Mobile in Milan within the project "A bite is not enough".
Pimpignegoli are creative grips for apples: a new way to eat, a fun experiment that turns eating apples into a game, especially for children. An opportunity to transform the "eating fruit" approach from a duty to a pleasure.

AtmoSfera is a project I developed during my bachelor at the Free University of Bolzano. It is a practical and personal bookcase that, thanks to its small size, can be positioned freely in the house next to the place where we are used to spend time reading. AtmoSfera is designed specifically as a place to store those books that we want to read, and that, one after another, are proposed to be chosen thanks to the system that pushes them down, as if they wanted to "leave the library" to be consulted .

Since 2008 I carry on my passion for producing handmade jewelry. I work with different materials such as metal and wood, but the thing I use the most are synthetic pastes like Fimo and Cernit with which I reproduce miniature, sweet and savory pastries, which I then turn into small and fancy jewels. This passion has been particularly successful and led me to participate in various markets, events and fairs during the last years.
