About
I am a Senior Industrial designer at Giro Sport Design, currently in charge of the snow line for helmets and goggles. I also have been in charge of multiple bike helmets, expanding categories and always bringing new innovation and technology to the brand. Outdoor sports are my passion, my daily hobbies and just plain fun. I take products from the brief, all the way through the design phase, work out the manufacturing CAD and development, until we have a final product.
