About 

I started studying Industrial Design in Politecnico di Milano in year 2005 and received the Bachelor degree 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 on algorithm for the system elements of the Snap-Fit.
In the academic years I have done several collaborations with laboratories, studios and companies in industrial design; throughout these experiences, I have enriched my professional background and combined the knowledge of the design industry and school.


In year 2009, I have 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 2011, I presented “Fit” in Milan Design Fair at Salone Satellite ( Fiera Milano al Salone Satellite). "Fit" was a patented design I developed with Politecnico di Milano. In the same year, I started the professional collaboration with Termozeta S.p.a. and Espressocap S.p.a.. I designed and developed many new products, including a new patent “Grattugina”, an electronic cheese grater, that is available in the market now.


Currently I am an industrial/strategic designer at P.E.T. Engineering. I work on new designs, product development, and design strategy. See below listing for the area I am focusing on:
- Working with the clients to reach their concept and marketing goals with strategy design process.
- Integrating strategic approach into design approach
- Translating insights into actionable solutions.
- Designing new products for Russian, Asian and European markets.
- 3D modelling software and rendering tools for new product proposals.
- Plastic part design ability.
- Stay on top of the trends for colors, materials and styles
- Creating new products / concepts presentation for clients
- Creation of 3d Printing with ProJet® 460Plus of 3DS.
