ABOUT
I'm a product designer passionate about Eyewear, in a clear vision of the eyewear and product design future. During my studies of Product Design, I have had the opportunity to understand the world of design, testing, and sharing my skills with different teams.
Growing up in Belluno, heart of the Italian Eyewear Industry, I got in contact with the environment from early age, and got more and more intrigued about it.
My inspiration, stimulus and mission is to connect to strong identities to reveal the invisible power of people: glasses have the power to show us who we are and who we could be.
While I am constantly looking for new challenges and opportunity to grow, I am the founder and Designer of IN SANA, avant-garde eyewear brand entirely handmade in Italy on order.
I make sunglasses to help people unleash their true self.
Why I chose glasses as way of expression
I believe glasses, and in particular sunglasses, are not just an accessory, they cover our eyes and gave us the chance to get in control of what people might think of us - such powerful tool!
​
Each of us is constantly adapting to the environment around us, and it's fascinating how much we change to fit in our work environment, family, friends and so on. Choosing a pair of glasses sometimes feel impossible for this precise reason: we are always looking for something that will fit all our personalities in one! It is no news how hard it is.
Even if the market seems saturated, I believe there is much more to explore, and much more to design. There is space for each of us to feel unique and safe at the same time!
My mission is to help both brands and individuals to find their true voice, that pair of glasses that represents them beyond the specific situation they're in, respecting their personalities and their desires.
