Hi, I'm Davide.
I'm passionate about envisioning the future.
I design and prototype experiences and interactions through emerging technologies, particularly VR and AR.
I like to apply user-driven methodologies and critical design thinking in my work.
I also like to dabble in computational design, physical computing, and architectural design.
Catch me snowboarding when I'm not designing :)
