Luca Toscano

Product Designer

Hi, my name is Luca, for friends Otto!

I work as UX Designer 2 for Microsoft in Dublin. Previously, rocking with Studio Volpi and Studio Giulio Iacchetti.

I spent the last 3 years bridging the gap between physical and digital products while delivering solid yet meaningful experiences across multiple touchpoints with a user-centred approach. I took part in the development of connected products/spaces, user interfaces and web/mobile platforms for international customers in the professional and consumer sectors.

Feel free to get in touch, I’m always thrilled about new experiences!
