My name is Francesco. I’m an Industrial Design Lead with over 14 years of experience, leading products from strategy to mass production across design consultancies, in-house teams, and fast-paced startups.

Today I’m at Studio Volpi, working on global consumer electronics and home appliances projects.

As a kid I was obsessed with consumer electronics. This passion took me around the world, where I worked across all stages of the design process, spanning from research and concept development to engineering, prototyping, and manufacturing.

What matters most to me is designing products that improve people’s lives. I strive to create solutions that bring joy, solve problems, and add a thoughtful element of surprise to everyday experiences.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with top product agencies like Designaffairs (now part of Accenture), Knightec, and in-house teams at Samsung and TCL.

I mentor emerging designers, have lectured on my experience between Europe and Asia, and continually explore new tools to keep my creativity sharp.
