Top School

Serena Cangiano is a multidisciplinary design researcher and principal who blends creative entrepreneurship, digital fabrication, and interaction design across academic and public-facing projects. For over a decade she has led SUPSI’s FabLab and coordinated its international MA in Interaction Design, producing hands-on curricula, workshops and open-design toolkits that move ideas from code to crafted prototypes. Her work spans digital social innovation, open hardware and pedagogical kits—co-founding Ethafa to teach programming through playful stories and co-authoring essays on open technologies and critical making. Serena’s practice is notable for bridging scholarly research (a PhD on open hardware) with curated exhibitions and collaborative residencies, bringing rigorous methods to experimental public programs. Based in Lugano, she balances global collaborations—from Seoul Biennale work to metaLAB affiliations—with a habit of testing concepts in community labs and maker spaces.
