Hello there.

I am Irene, a Researcher and Interaction Designer.

I am currently a PhD student and a teaching assistant at the Faculty of Informatics of Università della Svizzera italiana (USI).

In my research project, titled , I explore how children can become active participants in discussions about technology, society, and equity. Through participatory design activities focused on generative AI and gender stereotypes, my research investigates how children’s perspectives, alongside those of parents and researchers, can help shape more inclusive and equitable technological futures.

I love typography design, old books, history podcasts, and my three adopted sloths — Luiza, Croissant and Jack.

If I am not obsessing over my latest read, you’ll find me pouring resources into my genealogy tree updates, blasting music at a considerably high volume, and pretending that my work will matter one day.
