I'm Paolo, and I'm a designer.

I had the pleasure of managing Paolo for two years and was consistently impressed by his attention to detail, organisation, and collaborative mindset. Paolo brings a calm, thoughtful presence to every task, and his adaptability and resilience make him a dependable team member in fast-paced or constantly evolving environments. Paolo is always eager to learn and grow, regularly sharing his work early and often to gather feedback from peers. This openness supports a strong culture of continuous improvement. He’s also proactive in staying current with design trends and technologies, often sharing valuable insights and tools that help the team stay informed and inspired. Whether it’s refining design system components, identifying impactful micro-interactions to improve customer experiences, or supporting cross-functional initiatives, Paolo consistently adds value. He is a joy to work with and a true asset to any product team.

Paolo is a highly collaborative and driven designer who made significant contributions to the John Lewis team. He excelled at working with Product and Engineering on complex projects, skillfully defining goals and driving positive outcomes. His passion for personal growth is evident in his proactive approach to feedback and training. Paolo's willingness to share his knowledge and insights with colleagues has enriched our team culture. I highly recommend him for any experience design role.

I worked in the same team as Paolo, we collaborated on several projects, and can say for sure it was the best collaboration I ever had! Paolo was always welcoming of different perspectives and willing to iterate more on his work until we found the right solution. Apart from being an incredible designer, Paolo is also an amazing person, always available to help and accept new challenges, bringing enthusiasm and a friendly smile to all the meetings we had.

Paolo has been a great part of our team at Brandwatch. Helps create a brilliant team atmosphere; he brings a blend of calm determination and a real motivation for learning which in many ways encourages other to follow suit. I have no doubt that Paolo will continue on a path of growth wherever he decides to go. It's been a real pleasure to both collaborate with and manage Paolo. I'm glad our paths crossed and no doubt they will again.

I was Paolo's line manager for around 2 years. During that he was always pushing to improve, and his enthusiasm for both UI/UX and code was always tangible. He designed and coded many of our design system's front-end components, which were always slick and on brand. As well as code, he also managed and maintained the team Figma library - enabling other designers to use our front-end components and speak the same language as developers.

Paolo is not only an incredibly talented designer but also a humble and brilliant human being. I thoroughly enjoyed working with and learning from him. I can't recommend Paolo enough!
