Tommaso Prinetti - product/digital designer & researcher.

Designer focused on innovation and emerging technologies, working in interdisciplinary teams to bring a human-centered and use-oriented perspective to complex projects. I design both products and the infrastructure around them. My effort is oriented towards enabling people to actually do, explore and act through carefully designed tools.
