I’m Emanuele Pizzolorusso. A designer passionate about thinking outside the box and connecting dots to create positive change.

My Story.

My passion lies in solving real-world problems through creativity and user-centricity. For over ten years, I’ve pushed the boundaries of industrial design and concept development, working on projects that merge form and function in innovative fun ways. Some of the consumer products I’ve designed, like Crumpled City Maps, Lucetta, and City Radio, have achieved significant market success, selling millions of units worldwide and boosting my clients' growth.

Next.

Running my studio has been very rewarding. However, I’ve increasingly felt a strong desire to join a larger, more structured environment—one where I can collaborate with teammates, take on bigger projects, and continue growing. So, now I’ve decided to take this exciting next big step in my career and am seeking new opportunities.

My approach has always prioritized user-centricity, strategic scenarios and innovation. In addition to designing physical products, this approach naturally aligns with UX Design, a discipline I’ve been deepening with growing passion.

I’m eager to join a larger, collaborative team where I can take on new challenges, contribute to big projects, and grow.

My Focus.

  • I translate user experiences into innovative concepts for products, solutions, and strategies, using a user-centered approach to create value and set new standards.

  • I transform ideas into practical, visually appealing products, overseeing everything from initial sketches to final prototypes, ensuring they are ready for manufacturing and user engagement.

  • While not my primary focus, I manage the strategic alignment of products and brand communication, ensuring consistency across platforms. This includes carefully coordinating imagery, colors, typography, and creating logos and brand elements.

  • UX design has been a part of my work as a designer for physical products. Now, I’m deepening my expertise through systematic study of the discipline.

Beyond Work.

Outside of design, I love playing tennis and I’m a certified coach, having coached tennis during different stages of my life. I also enjoy reading, cooking, and exploring topics related to business and economics.
