Hi, I’m Antonella.
I turn user research into accessible, scalable experiences. My work sits at the intersection of human behavior, inclusive design, and strategic thinking.
My Approach
“We must design for the way people behave, not for how we would wish them to behave.”— Jakob Nielsen
Collaborative
I believe design is strongest when it’s shared. I work closely with teammates, stakeholders, and users to co-create solutions, ensuring every perspective is valued and the final design truly meets user needs.
Iterative
Great design evolves through testing and refinement. I move from sketches to prototypes to polished designs, using feedback at each stage to continuously improve usability and impact.
Research-Driven
Every design decision is informed by evidence. From usability testing and interviews to heuristic evaluations, I rely on research to guide choices and create solutions that are intuitive, accessible, and effective.
