about
Senior technical leader, with a 20+ years industry and academic experience and the goal and passion to mix design strategy with agile user experience (UX) research and innovation to enrich people’s everyday life and humanize technology.
My current focus is Artificial Intelligence (AI), with an emphasis on smart spaces, sensor technology and aging in place. Prior to Intel, I worked as architect in Italy and Senior Research Fellow at RMIT University in Australia.
I am committee member and reviewer for several international journals, institutes and conferences and conducted research and presented in 6 continents. In 2018 I was recognized as one of Italy's 50 most inspiring women in tech (InspiringFifty initiative).

suitcases
The suitcase journey started with my PhD thesis Lavoretti per bimbi - Playful Triggers as keys to foster collaborative practices and workspaces where people learn, wonder and play. The thesis explored ways to use design tools and methods to foster collaborative practices in organizational contexts.
After completing my dissertation, I have been fortunate to display the PhD in a Suitcase in multiple contexts and observe multiple audiences interacting with it. I also had the opportunity to further explore the use of travelling containers as metaphors and spaces for co-creation. Below, some images of the thesis and of a 2006 interactive installation at MART, the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Trento and Rovereto in Italy. The video is from a 2010 virtual talk I gave to the ABR-Studio at the University of Alberta.
