Alessandra Canella
Alessandra just came back from Shanghai, where she has lived for a year and a half attending the PoliTong program – a double master degree in Design and Innovation at Tongji University. She graduated in Product Service System Design at Politecnico di Milano and discussed her thesis about sexuality in China, designing a product service system for Chinese women to instill the concept of sexual wellness.
Charmed by intercultural consumer behaviour studies and by the strength of social innovation, she believes research is a very effective way to better understand consumers.
At Experientia –which she joined in 2012-, Alessandra is a user experience designer, focusing on how to connect research with the design phase. Furthermore she is a lecturer for a seminary in Social innovation at Politecnico di Milano and a lecturer of visual communication applied to sustainable energy at Politecnico di Torino.
Aside from her mother tongue Italian, Alessandra speaks fluent English and basic Chinese.
