Info
XVII is a design practice based in Barcelona, working across graphic, web and interaction design and website development. Combining creativity with a commitment to usability, it delivers innovative, accessible, user-centered solutions for diverse clients.
My path began in Milan, at XYcomm Studio, where I worked on projects for global brands such as Luceplan, Marazzi and iGuzzini, overseeing the full design process for catalogues and communication tools. I also contributed to the visual identity of major exhibitions, including Olivetti: Una Bella Società in Turin and Re-Cycle at MAXXI in Rome, building solid experience in graphic design project management.
In 2014 I moved to Paris and joined the Mosne team, where the focus shifted to web and interaction design: UX, UI and accessibility, applied to websites for SMEs, freelancers and e-commerce platforms such as icymi.fr, incarnem.com and leporello-books.com.
Since 2019 I’ve been based in Barcelona, where I started taking on new projects of my own while continuing to collaborate with Mosne. Today this work is carried out as XVII, guiding each project from first concept to final implementation.

Communication tools and printed and digital materials, from the first sketch to the final files, with a consistent voice across formats.
Web and interaction design
Interfaces built around the people who use them: UX, UI and accessibility, from structure and flows to the details of each screen.
Editorial design
Catalogues, publications and printed matter, designed with attention to layout, typography and rhythm.
Visual identity
Identities built to work across print, screen and space, from the mark to the system that holds it together.
