Irene Danesi
Hi! Thanks for stopping by. I’m currently Interaction Design Associate Manager at Accenture and before Lead Brand and UX Designer at Hmlet, in the heart of Singapore. I'm an end-to-end designer who loves solving challenging problems and telling a good story. Curious by nature, I love connecting with and understanding people. I get jazzed about leading in-depth user research, brainstorming solutions and crafting powerful visual experiences. Creativity and connectivity are my jam.
Before diving into digital design, I worked across Europe and Asia for big firms, boutique agencies and startups wearing multiple hats from art direction, to branding & identity, exhibition design and publishing, helping brands engage with their audiences. While in Rome I studied art history and visual communication, while product design and behavioural psychology found their way into my life during my time in Singapore.
I'm always trying to grow and learn something new. I lose track of time when I'm hiking over mountains, listening to a good album or talking to people in new countries I explore. I enjoy practicing and occasionally teaching yoga; beach volley and climbing, falling and trying time and time again. On rainy days, you can find me in museums or curled up reading artists biographies, watching European cinema or psychological crime thriller series non stop.
Check out some case studies, or read on to learn more about how I work.
