Designer & Creative Technologist

My Story

Hey, I’m Michele — a multidisciplinary designer and creative technologist with a background in Computer Science and a specialization in UX/UI design.

During my degree, I worked at Deloitte Digital as a Junior UX/UI and graphic designer, where I got hands-on experience working on real-world design challenges early on. Toward the end of university, I completed an internship at Draw & Code in Liverpool — one of the UK’s leading indie game studios. It was there that I got my first real exposure to immersive technology and game development, which sparked a deeper curiosity in interactive media.

That passion led me to Utrecht University in the Netherlands, where I studied game and media technology through a series of focused courses. It gave me the space to explore how design, animation, and development come together in more experimental and immersive formats.

Throughout all of this, I co-founded Avenir Digital and Avenir Studio with a close friend, and we’ve been working together on digital products, brand experiences, and creative projects ever since.

Outside of work, I’m usually exploring, climbing, or swimming — always on the move and always curious.
