Hi, I'm Daria. I’m a Senior Product Designer based in Verona, Italy [CET +1, Rome time 🇮🇹🍕]

This page is a short guide to how I think, work, and collaborate. I'm sharing it because great design relationships start with honesty about process, communication, and what makes us each do our best work. I hope it gives a glimpse into who I am as a designer.

How I think about design

I design end-to-end: from shaping the problem with stakeholders to shipping high-fidelity interfaces. I think in systems. Every design decision has a ripple effect, and I always ask how a solution scales, what it breaks upstream, and where it creates unnecessary variation.

I'm at my best when design is involved in the decision-making early. That space lets me validate ideas, run the right research at the right time, and bring clarity before we start building. Fewer expensive surprises later. That being said, I am not afraid of fast, iterative work, especially with current prototyping and vibecoding tools.

Ambiguity doesn't stop me, I design into it. I'll frame the uncertainty, propose a direction, and get feedback fast rather than waiting for perfect clarity.

🤝 Involve me early

Early design input leads to better outcomes and fewer surprises close to delivery.

📝 Plan, plan, plan!

A little foresight gives design time to do its job - explore, test, refine.

↪️ Iterate early, often

I'd rather share messy work in progress than a polished version that misses the mark.

💡 Clarity over perfection

Well-defined goals and clear direction unlock better design thinking.

What I bring to a product team

1️⃣ Autonomous ownership

I take end-to-end responsibility for complex domains without needing hand-holding at each step. I'm comfortable leading design within a cross-functional team and driving work forward independently.

2️⃣ Craft at velocity

I hold a high bar for quality, but I ship at speed. I know when to explore widely and when to converge fast, deliver, and move on.
