Isabella Rossi
Isabella has a B.A. in Communication Design from Politecnico di Milano and an M.S. in HCI from Carnegie Mellon. She built multilingual design systems and led research on trust-and-safety UX, exploring how tiny UI choices affect whether users feel respected or tricked. Her essays cover humane onboarding, consent flows that are clear without being scary, and the craft of microcopy in sensitive moments. Isabella mentors designers moving from visual to product roles, hosts critique circles with generous feedback, and occasionally teaches short courses on content design. Off work she sketches city architecture, experiments with film cameras, and tries to perfect a basil pesto her nonna would approve of.
