I design end‑to‑end product experiences: from framing the problem with users and stakeholders, to high‑fidelity prototypes.
I’m Alessia, and I thrive at the dynamic intersection of Design and Engineering. With a BSc in Creative Technology and a Double Master's in HCI, I aim to understand both the technical how and the human why.

A flexible process I can adapt to each product team.
I start by clarifying the problem with stakeholders, understanding user journeys and constraints so we solve the right thing.
Research (interviews, surveys, desk research) surfaces motivations, hurdles and success metrics that inform the experience.
I move from low-fidelity prototypes into high‑fidelity prototypes, validating early with users to reduce risk before building.
Paired with engineers, I refine the product by using analytics and feedback to inform the next iteration.
Iterative projects from user research studies to real-world implementations.
A year-long digital transformation journey. I created an automated Power BI dashboard, designed MVPs for a new pain-point gathering application, and e-learning modules.
A haptic glove designed to teach American Sign Language. I engineered a hardware prototype (flex sensors & actuators) and handled Serial communication between Arduino and Processing to test if multimodal feedback improves retention.
A VR environment to help train conductors process trauma. I handled the Virtual Reality build, focusing on level design, pacing, and psychological safety.
A game controlled by brainwaves using an EEG headset. I handled the logic to adapt game mechanics in real-time based on cognitive load data.
Specialization in Computer Science. Final Thesis on developing an automated training evaluation dashboard for Baker Hughes.
Focus on Interaction Technology and User Experience.
The foundation. Rapid prototyping, sensors, and physical computing.
Expanded my technical skillset with CAD and UI Wireframing while immersing myself in Spanish culture.
A transformative year in Portoviejo. I learned fluent Spanish, adaptability, and how to navigate entirely new environments.
Whether you need a UX designer who codes, a facilitator for your workshop, or just want to chat about design, travel, and building the future, I'm here for it!
