Ciao! I'm Flavia

I come from design and development. Today I help small Italian businesses step into the present with better tools, clearer data, AI where it actually helps and I'm doing it first in my own family's business.

Early career / before 2016
I've always found a way to explore the world of work and put my skills to use:
→ photographer for fashion brands, manufacturing companies and different things
→ video maker for music events, festivals and jewelery brands
→ private/unpaid graphic designer for my friends and family

Day to day job

I am at the intersection of strategy and creativity, but if I'm being honest I'm proudly better at people. I build the kind of relationships where clients still text me two years later to talk through an idea even when we're not working together anymore.
‍
I listen far more than I talk and I have the habit of staying objective when everyone else in the room is too emotionally invested to see straight. I trust that instinct and so far it has a pretty good track record.

I've been a freelancer for a few years now and I've had the opportunity to work with very different businesses and people:
‍

What's on the table?
Over the past few years I've shifted from being the one who designs, builds, ships to being the point that holds people, product, and decisions together.
→ Designing and developing the digital strategy for Italian SMEs and startups

→ Bringing AI into our family business, starting from finance and real estate +

→ Exploring venture capital from the inside @ Venture Academy by Italian Tech Alliance
I'm happy to talk!
I'm a very good listener and that's not a LinkedIn thing to say. If you've got a messy idea, a half plan or a business that could work better and you're not sure where to start, I'd love to hear about it.

I'm currently accepting interesting dilemmas.

It's almost worth the move

caffè americano ★
the Sun is less hot - (lo dice anche Francesco Costa)

the bread ★★★★
I didn't expect it → anyway, to play it safe I learned how to make it through an italian friend who brought the starter directly from Italy (here's the recipe I use from a famous italian panettiere)
‍
"how r u" every time everywhere ★★★
at the beginning I used to reply honestly
‍
squirrels ★
can we all agree they're just rats with a cute tail? → I say hi to the little mouse that lives in the wall of my living room (contact me if you need more information on how I got rid of mice in my flat)
