Global design education & mentorship

2014 - present

I've enjoyed leading and teaching through design workshops and courses at home and abroad in Milan, Moscow, Mexico City, New York, and Barcelona. I focus on helping students develop a user-centered design approach, grounded in foundational research methods and proper problem-framing. Most recently, I taught Interaction Design Fundamentals for a second year to Service Design Masters students at Politecnico di Milano, covering UX design, user research methods, and prototyping. 

I also mentor a number of designers, students, and individuals considering a career shift to design/tech through my role at Google and in teaching.
