A bit about me

Ciao, my name is Paolo and I am an Italian multi-disciplinary designer with over 9 years of experience in the industry. I am currently living in San Francisco Italy and working as a Senior Product Designer at Shortcut, helping the company on the mission to build the most intuitive and enjoyable project management platform.

When I am not designing, I’m slappin da bass, watching The Office, or trying to learn something new.

I’m always happy to grab a virtual coffee (we are all remote now) and chat with anyone who’s interested about design and career growth. Feel free to drop me an email.
