Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGiovanni Pignoni is a human-computer interaction researcher and designer with eight years of experience bridging interaction design, ergonomics, and frontend development across academia and industry. Currently a PhD fellow at Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna, he has held research and teaching roles at NTNU and the Institute for Energy Technology, focusing on cognitive workload measurement, tangible interaction, and human factors in maritime contexts. Trained in graphic design and interaction design, he pairs visual communication and typographic research (including work on dyslexia-friendly type) with hands-on prototyping and frontend implementation. His background in rural mechanics and electronics informs a nature-inspired, user-centered design sensibility that treats ergonomics as the language of dialogue between user and designer. Comfortable diving into unfamiliar domains, he adapts quickly to diverse projects and has contributed to exhibition and data-visualization installations as well as commercial web projects. Based in Italy with years in Norway, he brings a cross-cultural perspective and a knack for turning observational research into memorable, functional interactions.
