Interview with Giorgio Gaudio

Designer Interview

23 April 2017

I majored in product design at IAAD University. Following graduation, I worked at the design studio Nussbaumer Design for 1 year, now i work like freelance for startups.

I've known socialfare for my thesis project, are a very open-minded studio, they use interesting methodologies

Create something to help people

Humanitarian projects, projects for real human needs

Mine Kafon Drone by Massoud Hassani. A project that serves to save lives, a drone that helps locate the presence of mines in the territory and disenchant them.

A pair of shears.

Gray matter, hands

In the subway

Functionality, think of every detail and user experience

I can fell anything, sorry.

So, i'm happy of course.

The participatory design

is useful to something or someone?

Design using the head, improve the world for real, seems for me that "chair" problemis solved.

Yes, I think it's an evolving world, surely the Anthropological design will move forward

I have not yet held an exhibition

One thing: human behavior

I take inspiration from everything, concentrate everything to find a pleasant aesthetic shape

I live in Turin/Italy, here the culture of social design is not very strong, we are still too tied to the golden age of Italian design.

Well, even if I prefer to work autonomously

Listen well, understand the best that the designer wants to convey and draw

I look at people, I know the problems everyday, sometimes I ask for something, divide, and talk to all the actors that revolve around a specific field. After drawing and looking for feedback

Sketchbook, pilot pen, iphone, toothbrush and sweet fork

I live differently every day, basically I try to live it serenely

i don't know, i'm a young designer.

Invent the world and have the responsibility to do it

I see, speak and write, nothing else

In fact I can not do it best, I do not have a solution.

It depends

Do you make me a drawing?

My experience at Nussbaumer design studio

Atomic,scarpa,Verdemax, Pieps.

The shears, my first job, are fond of me

No plans, only hard work.

Depends on the project

I'm doing a research on jail design
