# Chiara Romano

UX designer at a well-known design agency in Milan, specializing in product design for B2B SaaS applications. Luca met Chiara through the Milan tech scene at a design-meets-engineering meetup a few years ago, and they have maintained a friendship built around shared curiosity about how products get made. She brings a design perspective that consistently challenges Luca's engineering-first instincts, which he values.

## Notes

- Has a sharp eye for interaction patterns and is quick to spot UX antipatterns in any product she uses
- Great at articulating design decisions in terms that engineers understand; bridges the design-dev gap naturally
- Luca occasionally consults her informally on UI decisions for his projects; her feedback is always actionable
- Active in the Italian design community; speaks at local events and mentors junior designers
- Shares Luca's interest in tools for thought and personal knowledge management

## Collaborations

- [[event-dinner-family]] — regular at casual dinners and Milan tech scene gatherings
- [[topic-saas-business]] — ongoing conversations about product design and UX in SaaS
