Current location: Zurich β°π¨ππ§ π«
Email, in case you want to drop a line: viola.mottarella@gmail.com

What gives me energy at work:
I would say...mainly talking with users!

THINGS I CAN DO
Thanks to my studies (Graphic design at NABA and master in Brand communication at Politecnico di Milano) and my working path I really feel like a "chameleon designer": my main focus is UX / UI but I also have experience in branding...and in general in the graphic design field. I recently discovered how much I love preparing workshops!
I enjoy working in the design area because it's always evolving and it always forces me to think about the other: which is the best way to make the user happy and satisfied with this product? How can we communicate this in order to let the user understand if this is what he/she really needs? .

TOOLS
I've been using a looot of tools in my day to day: Figma, Invision, ProtoPie, Illustrator, Indesign, Photoshop, After Effects, Sketch, Abstract, Mailchimp, Klavyio, Metabase, Frontify, Notion, Maze, UserTesting... (Tools are just enablers - some are better on certain aspects, some on others...but at the end, is always about the mindset with which they are used.)

WHAT DO I VALUE?
βπ½ Learn learn learn! As humans we are always "work in progress" (and not only at work!)
π€π½ People: I love working with different people because it is exactly through confrontation and discussion that we grow and we can find the best ideas - In miroverse you can find some template I created to spark collaboration and openness in your team.
ππ½ Feedback is my keyword for 3 reasons.
π€ΈπΎ Enjoy, ask why and always listen!
