About

I'm Valeria Azzini.

Valeria Azzini
Milan, Italy · ©2026

Head of Design. Nearly two decades at the intersection of design leadership and digital product, turning strategy into experiences that millions of people use.

I build and scale teams from scratch, redesign and launch e‑commerce platforms across European and Asian markets, and embed a data-driven, user-centered culture wherever I go, always with quality and inclusivity at the core.

Today I direct UX/UI strategy and execution at Moncler across web, mobile and native app, managing agency partnerships across Europe and key Asian markets. Before that I built Moncler's UX/UI design team from scratch, led digital art direction at Leroy Merlin, and designed for Contactlab and Dolce & Gabbana.

Off the record
