At Viola, our mission is to combat gender violence through efficient responses, while creating safe spaces for individuals across Europe. To achieve this, we have assembled a remarkable team of highly skilled and educated professionals. Meet Francesco, our UX/UI Designer, who is dedicated to building a safer society.
Francesco Giacomi brings his expertise in user experience and human-centered design to the forefront. His dynamic and passionate approach has been shaped by a diverse educational background and extensive work experience. Francesco actively seeks out environments that foster curiosity, honesty, and empathy.
Originally from Pesaro, Francesco pursued his masters in architecture at Politecnico of Milan, furthering his studies with an Erasmus program in Spain and visual design in Lisbon. It was during a collaborative project in Lisbon that he crossed paths with our CEO, Laura, and felt compelled to contribute to Viola’s app development.
“Viola is breaking barriers to redefining possibilities, where men and women come together to forge a future of shared growth”.
Francesco finds great fulfillment in being the only male member of the team at Viola. He cherishes the sense of belonging and considers them his “family,” appreciating the time spent together. According to Francesco, Viola’s distinguishing factor lies in its voice—a presence that provides calm and comfort when needed most. He believes that Viola has the potential to become that voice for others.
Looking to the future, Francesco hopes to continue to live in the country away from the busy city life. He enjoys playing the clarinet and indulging in his love for music, ceramics, and photography. One of his aspirations is to become a full-time member of the Viola team, recognizing that proper app development requires time and dedication. He hopes that Viola’s usage will become second nature for everyone, creating a society where individuals can feel protected through the use of their phones. Francesco’s driving force is to effect positive change in society through the impact of Viola.
