PORTFOLIO
Here are links to some of my projects (both collaborations with other students):
WHAT’S COOKING? A social software application for university students living in Venice. It brings together people who love cooking and focuses on the joy of eating in company. Through What’s Cooking? you can find people with the same tastes as you and have dinner with them, dividing tasks (cooking, shopping, cleaning and hosting) and sharing your skills. This project won first prize in the Mobile category of the Adobe Design Achievement Awards 2008. (more information)
DÉRIVE A different kind of mobile navigator that allows you to wander and drift, exploring Venice through the five senses. This application is especially conceived for Venice because its urban structure encourages wandering and sensory exploration. (more information)
