I started studying Industrial Design in Politecnico di Milano in year 2005 and received the Bachelor of Industrial Design in year 2009. In the same year, I entered the graduate program in Design Engineering and received the Master degree of Design&Engineering in April 2012; with the graduation thesis of algorithm for the system elements of the Snap-Fit. In the academic years I done several collaborations with laboratories, studios and companies in industrial design; throughout these experiences, I enriched my professional background and combined the knowledge of the design industry and school. In year 2009, I had my first project showcase in Milan Design Fair (Fiera Milano)—”Mater-Pizza”, VISCOM ITALY. The project was a collaboration with Imballaggi Protettivi Srl and Zund Swiss Cutting System AG. In year 2010 I collaborated with V&P Associati Srl for 3D model CAD model and rendering. In year 2011, I presented “Fit” in Milan Design Fair at Salone Satellite (Fiera Milano al Salone Satellite) patented design and developed in collaboration with Politecnico di Milano. In the same year, I started the professional collaboration at Termozeta S.p.a. and Espressocap S.p.a.; in which I designed and developed new products including a new patent “Grattugina”.
