Context

The Safety Innovation Program was created as a training initiative dedicated to promoting a safety culture within Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane. The objective was to transform complex content and operational procedures into a more engaging experience capable of encouraging active participation, awareness, and learning through practical and collaborative dynamics.

Visual

The visual identity developed combines a corporate language with a contemporary and dynamic approach, translating safety-related themes into a clear and accessible graphic system. Through intuitive visual elements, guided pathways, and direct communication, the project makes content more engaging and easier to navigate, maintaining a balance between visual impact, readability, and consistency with the corporate context.

My takeaways

This project allowed me to engage with design applied to training and the communication of high-responsibility topics. I deepened my understanding of the value of visual clarity and user experience in communicating complex content, strengthening my skills in designing intuitive systems, fostering engagement, and creating effective learning experiences.

Questions for the Designer

My approach is based on a holistic vision. I never separate design from its technological implementation. In projects such as EmTech Italy and Huawei TechArena, my role has been that of a strategic bridge: I translate complex concepts into intuitive interfaces and coherent visual systems. I adopt a Data-Driven and User-Centric approach, where design is not merely aesthetic but functional, ensuring that the user experience (UX) directly supports the client's technological goals.

Unlike a pure designer, I have a solid background as a frontend developer. I understand both the limitations and the potential of code, which directly influences every decision I make during the UI design process. I design interfaces that are technically sustainable and optimized for the web (via WordPress), reducing the gap between the prototype in Figma and the final product. This allows me to manage web development independently, while preserving the creative vision and ensuring optimal performance.

My added value lies in visual dynamism. I don’t limit myself to static layouts; I use motion design (After Effects) to bring brand identity to life, as seen in Ray-Ban: You’re On or Oakley: Beyond Human. Whether for events, social media, or digital interfaces, my goal is to create memorable experiences. This ability to merge traditional branding with animation allows companies to stand out, turning a simple image into an interactive communication asset.

For me, 3D is a tool to shape the impossible. I use software such as Blender and Substance Stager not only for aesthetic purposes, but for product visualization and prototyping, as in the project The Rim. From modeling to final output (rendering), my skills allow me to integrate 3D elements into complex digital contexts to enhance every detail, while maintaining full control over the quality of the visual design.

It demonstrates my technical versatility. Managing live events, directing, and video mapping (as in EmTech Italy) has taught me how to work under pressure. This cross-disciplinary experience allows me to approach digital projects with a critical-ready mindset: I can coordinate real-time workflows and maintain focus on output quality even in unpredictable scenarios, such as those experienced with Torino City Lab.

My approach is that of a pragmatic innovator. I am used to working on Call for Solutions and digital innovation projects, such as Poste Italiane Call for Solutions and Unicredit Hack. My ability to move across graphic design, 3D, and UX/UI allows me to analyze problems from multiple perspectives. I focus on sustainable, scalable solutions aligned with the specific needs of corporate ecosystems, always aiming for maximum communication impact.
