About

My name is Davide Cardi, passionate about painting, sports and playing music, I later fell in love with Industrial Design! I hold a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Product Design from the University of Ferrara and a Master's degree in Advanced Design from the University of Bologna. During my studies I collected two international experiences with a total of 1 year spent abroad, first in Copenhagen, Denmark, then in Detroit, Michigan (USA). Curiosity, creativity and determination are the most typical traits of my personality and it aligns with my designer profession where learning is imperative. Wether we are talking about product design, experience design or transportation design, with a strong focus on innovation and sustainability as key values to shape tomorrow’s world. I am now looking for opportunities in transportation design and product design to improve my skills and contribute to designing a better future.
