Lead UX Designer

“Every time I talk about AI, I describe AI as a shortcut for everything… The stakeholders look at AI as a solution, not as a tool.”

- Max Fumagalli, UX Director at Beauty Pie

Max Fumagalli

UX Director

Member of the Depop founding team, with over 30 years of experience in user interface and platform design, design management, and creative direction. A highly experienced, results-oriented Design Leader with demonstrated ability to build, grow, and motivate teams of design professionals. Proven ability to translate user needs and business strategies into engaging experiences. Deep expertise in iOS, watchOS, and web/graphics design. As a designer, I prefer to identify myself as a people observer, as I continuously learn by observing the interactions and device usage of individuals around me. My diverse background encompasses various fields, including printing, book production, industrial design, and design development itself. I possess the ability to manage the graphic design process in accordance with guidelines provided by external entities. Furthermore, I excel in supervising teams in a directing capacity. My passion lies in technology and people, particularly in the intricate relationship between the two.
