As a strategic designer, I inspire people to create more meaning.
In the companies where I create, I build knowledge and teams.
I commit them to human-centricity.
Which means that they solve real persons' problems through scientific methods.

For 15 years, I have been focussing on accessibility and inclusion.
Two subcategories of sustainability.

❌ The following two quotes describe my generation's problem to solve.

❌ "Form-follows function is the excuse for shitty design!" quote of my mentor Hartmut Esslinger

❌ "Lipstick on a pig - Underneath it's still a pig!"

My recipe:

✅ "It must not be pretty. It has to neurologically and emotionally work!"

What I do next to building up human centred design knowledge and teams:

👉 Currently I am writing my book on accessibility as a revenue accellerator. The title is "How many F-UX do I give"

👉 I have been building open source a11y games to solve life's serious issues with ease...

👉 With my own company I focus on a11y. We make product and service companies fit for the European Accessibility Act.

Per gli amici, Lucio, classe 1996, sono un informatico e un designer industriale che ha cominciato a fare impresa nel paesello dove sono nato, nel centro della mia amata Sicilia. Ho 2 partit, ehm, 2 attività di cui vado fiero, una è nell'ambito dell'artigianato, settore legno, e l'altra è un'azienda agricola. Sono un perito informatico e dopo aver iniziato gli studi al dipartimento di matematica e informatica all'università di Catania, per imprevisti o forse opportunità, non ho concluso la carriera da programmatore, ho capito che volevo fare altre cose da grande e adesso sto completando gli studi in Architettura e design industriale presso la San Raffaele Roma.
Sono una ex recluta del GDG Catania e ho fatto tanta esperienza nel mondo delle startup, partendo dal brainstorming.
Ho molte skill, ma resto umile, mi piace la musica e la pasta al forno.
