👋 Hi, I’m a senior UX designer with a background in cognitive science — and I’m passionate about helping others grow in this field. 🎬 I started out as an ergonomist in 2008 and have since worked across startups, SMEs, large companies, and government organizations. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong ability to understand complex processes and translate them into clear, efficient, and meaningful experiences for end users. My foundation in cognitive sciences — especially memory, emotions, and decision-making — helps me design with both logic and empathy. I’m driven by a desire to create tools and services that truly make sense to the people who use them, even when the underlying systems are highly complex. 🚀 I can help you with: Conducting effective user research and usability testing Facilitating workshops with users, stakeholders, and decision-makers Tackling complex UX challenges in business-critical environments Shaping your path as a UX professional, whether you're just starting or levelling up. 💡 Whether you're refining your portfolio, navigating a difficult project, or just want a fresh perspective, I’d be happy to support you on your journey.

Martina Turano
Design Mentor at Designed.org
- Career Transitions
- Design Critique
- Interaction Design
- Portfolio Review
Curiosity is an attitude that characterizes my work and my personal life. To give you an idea, I have been a humanist who started to teach myself programming and went through a role as a back-end software developer in a previous life. My journey through different specialties was a centuries-lasting time travel, from Plato's Athens to computer science. It was challenging sometimes, but it was an original educational path that significantly shaped my attitude. It was a practice of breaking through barriers between different fields and their approaches to frame reality and amplify human potential. I came out with a hybrid point of view that naturally led me to embrace design disciplines, where I found my mission. I benefit from a toolbox of wonders built up over the years while learning to crack codes, mixing scientific rigor and flexibility to seize the plurality of meaning around us and give it meaning. In the last few years, I've been working both in the technology and the creative fields, spanning the public sector and class-leading companies operating in different industries (e.g. financial services, telecom, energy), studying people's needs and societal changes to shape inclusive and future driven experiences mostly with and for citizens. As a service and interaction designer, I usually design valuable experiences for clients and users, following the process nearly from the start, when the research phase is sketched out, to the final delivery
