About - Stefano Barilli - UI/UX Designer

THE JOURNEY OF A HYBRID SOUL. BRIDGING STRATEGY AND CODE.

Hi, I’m Stefano!

I am Lead Product Designer balancing business strategy, human-centered research, and technical execution. I view design as a journey of exploration—dissecting complex problems into accessible, results-driven digital ecosystems. By integrating commercial goals and technical feasibility from day one, my methodology eliminates hand-off friction and reduces the distance between business vision and final implementation to absolute zero.

THREE PATHS, ONE COMPASS.

1. Enterprise Rigor & Accessibility

As Lead UX at Net Service Group, my day-to-day revolves around massive software ecosystems and highly regulated environments. Within this scope, I have driven key initiatives for the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) acting as a Senior Designer and Accessibility Expert, successfully leading product evolution while navigating the rigid technical boundaries of low-code frameworks. I champion Human-Centered Design (HCD) and UXQB standards across public administration and justice sector projects, acting as an internal evangelist to weave WCAG accessibility compliance right into the source code.

2. Product & Service Design

Outside institutional walls, I thrive in the fast-paced realm of consumer products and retail consulting. From deep-dive user persona mapping to building an unshakeable digital footprint, I design custom, end-to-end solutions with a clear, measurable business impact. This is what drove a +65% surge in completed applications for Nocefresca by eliminating user journey friction, and a +25% increase in store revenue for Tabaccheria 4.0 by merging local SEO with a custom revenue data analytics dashboard.

3. Game UX & Visual Art

My journey also includes over a decade of deep exploration in Game UX and digital art for italian studios. Gaming left me with a sharp visual sensibility, a pixel-perfect mastery of color theory, and the ability to design high-engagement micro-interactions. I inject this obsessive care for aesthetic and psychological detail back into rigid enterprise systems, making functional B2B products uniquely engaging and memorable.
