About
In the mid-nineties, I co-founded Alesco Internet & Intranet Solutions together with Stefano "Tonno" Luzardi — one of Italy's first professional web and media agencies — earning recognition at SMAU for one of Italy's best early B2B e-commerce platforms. I then built sevenPM.com over fourteen years into a studio for innovative, user-centred online solutions.
As Senior E-Commerce Consultant at Oracle and then Reply, I led European projects for Intimissimi, Geox, Falconeri, Calzedonia, BMW Alphabet, and Long Tall Sally. Today I work as Product Designer at ART4ART srl — building a platform that connects talents and talent-seekers globally — and pursue my own digital ventures in parallel.
I bring a European perspective to every engagement. German, English, Italian, French — and Dutch (the ½).
Expertise
From ambiguous brief to working product architecture.
I shape digital products from the ground up — defining structure, logic and interaction systems before a single screen is designed. Trained in industrial design, I approach every product as an architecture problem: what does it need to do, how does it behave, and why will people use it. This is the work I find most meaningful, and where I bring the most value.
The craft behind the interface.
Rigorous information architecture, user flow design and interaction systems — grounded in Nielsen Norman methodology since 2000. I design how products think, not just how they look — mapping user journeys, simplifying complex workflows, and building interaction logic that holds up at scale.
Positioning products in a moving market.
From concept validation to platform roadmapping, I help organisations define what to build, why it matters, and how to sequence it. I've led product strategy across startups, agencies and enterprise — advising on market positioning, feature prioritisation and platform evolution across European markets.
Building faster without building less intentionally.
I integrate AI tools across the full product design workflow — from rapid prototyping and generative interface design to production-ready interface development. AI doesn't replace product thinking; it compresses the distance between idea and artefact. I use it to move faster while keeping the quality bar high.
Commerce platforms at European scale.
As Senior eCommerce Consultant at Oracle and Reply, I led platform architecture and UX strategy for Intimissimi, Geox, Falconeri, Calzedonia, BMW Alphabet and Long Tall Sally across multiple European markets. I understand how commerce platforms are built, not just how they are used — from catalogue logic and checkout flows to multi-market rollouts.
Own Ventures
Alongside my work at ART4ART, I am building three digital products from the ground up — each addressing a real problem I care about deeply.
Hospitality
White-label restaurant reservation & table management — and a future consumer booking platform.
No!Logo is a modern, white-label reservation and guest management system built primarily for system integrators — POS providers, payment platforms — who want to offer restaurants a state-of-the-art solution under their own brand. Once enough restaurants are on board, T42 (Table for Two) becomes the consumer-facing layer: one place to find and book tables anywhere.

Sport
The definitive P2P marketplace connecting traveling rowers with rowing clubs.
Experienced rowers face a real dilemma when they travel: they have to leave their passion behind because renting a high-performance shell is still a manual, email-based process. GoRow digitises the handshake between athlete and club through a unique home-club verification system — turning idle boathouse inventory into a global revenue stream, with equipment only ever handled by verified experts.
