Hi! I'm Annapaola; I work as a designer and researcher at IUAV.

I gained the PHD with a thesis on the optimization of Human – Technology Interaction.

Meanwhile, I organize the events of TEDxGenova since 2019. During the years, I organized 13 events.

I have been in Erasmus twice: in Porto (PT) and in Kouvola (FI). In 2023 I've been a visiting researcher in Barcelona (ES). In 2024 I've held lectures on Sustainable Interaction Design in Philadelphia (US).

I like to travel: at the moment I have been in 40 countries.

I fluently speak and write in english, while my skin talks about me: I have 9 tattoos.
