About me — Riccardo Marrocchelli

I’m a designer, with a wide-ranging background

My knowledge in the field of design is transversal: from product to graphic design, from storytelling to marketing. This is the result of an interdisciplinary course of study and a holistic view of design.
My design process starts from a deep search for meaning and proceeds by problem-solving methods: from the identification of the needs of the target audience to the solution to satisfy them.

Types of projects I have dealt with:

Product Design
Design for pubblic spaces
Optimisation of a product's environmental sustainability
Static load simulation and shape optimisation
Design of furniture elements and accessories
Prototyping with 3D printing (FDM, SLA)

Graphic Design
Branding
Editorial Design (magazines, books)
Museal Communication
Communication campaigns
Institutional Communication
Printing technologies
Merchandise

Design Thinking
Human-Centered Design
Design for Innovation
Strategic Design
Storytelling
