Alessandro Plantera

Short description

I have been a technology and computer enthusiast since I was a child. I loved building, taking apart, discovering and always looking for innovative and clever solutions for other people as well. I have always had a flair for helping others, and this has led me to develop a deep curiosity and determination in the field of technology. Today, I am an interaction design student at SUPSI's Master of Interaction Design. I am passionate about technology, IoT, digital fabrication and everything related to innovation. What makes me different is my perseverance in completing personal projects and goals, combined with a constant desire to explore and implement cutting-edge solutions. I also stand out for my ability to combine creativity thanks to my visual design bachelor and technical rigor. I enjoy approaching challenges with a multidisciplinary approach, integrating design, technology, and a strong user focus. I believe that empathy is crucial in my work because it allows me to better understand people's needs and create meaningful and useful experiences. In addition, thanks to my curiosity, I am always up-to-date through social, forums and news about the latest trends and innovations in my field. This continuous training in part also "passive" because I do it spontaneously and not as if it were a self-imposed task, allows me to stay on the cutting edge and bring added value to the projects on which i work.
