What is the value of good design? Why should everyone invest in good design?
Although the term "design" is commonly associated only with the quality and/or aesthetics of products, the value of good design, understood as a project, product or service, in my opinion is the ability to connect people's needs with the function and the form. Design is the cornerstone that links the gap between "why" and "what is possible"

Challenging thought patterns, behavior and feeling, "thinker designers" produce solutions that generate new meanings and activate different elements - cognitive, emotional and sensorial - that are involved in the human experience

My favorite color is blue, favorite place is my home, my favorite food is carbonara (type of pasta), season spring, my favorite thing iPhone and my favorite brand Apple... after Diapath.
What makes your day great as a designer, how do you motivate yourself?
My day is made fantastic due to experience of creating something that still exists. It's possible thanks to very important team work and in the same time is a great responsibility. I try every day to analyze critically the problems with the right mix of analytical and intuitive thinking. I try not to think immediately of the solution, but the problem. It's always important to understand why we are designing something and when we are "too close and tied" to the problem or objective, we risk not understanding the context objectively. I motivate myself trying to innovate by stimulating unexplored and creative solutions with a practical meaning that is based on the fast validation of the concepts developed.
