Hi, I'm Matteo
I design services that make sense of complexity. I work on social innovation, public services, and urban regeneration, helping communities and organizations shape the future they want.

Process
The Double Diamond gave me a foundation and a shared language. But working on projects, I developed my own rhythm: five phases that reflect how I think & where I'm strongest as a designer.
It's also the narrative thread that runs through everything you'll find in this portfolio.
Sense
Listen, observe, research
Map
Connect the dots, map the system
design
Work with people, not just for them

PURPOSE
I design because the world is complex & fragile. Every service,every system, every choice shapes how people live, who belongs, and what future we move toward.
I believe design is a political practice. I choose to use it for people, to create services and systems that open possibilities for a more just & humane tomorrow.
Let's work together
Whether you have a project in mind or just want to talk, I'm always happy to connect.
