Ciao!
I'm Nicola Galberti.
I'm a designer based in Milan, with a degree from PoliMi.I design products, from physical objects to digital interfaces.
Curious about anything I can design, improve or reinvent.
4 projects that represent me.
Something about me.
Engineering taught me the method, design opened me to creativity.
Originally from Venice, now based in Milan. I started in mechanical engineering, moved into design, co-founded a startup and now work at a multinational.

From engineering to my first startup
I graduated in Mechanical Engineering in Trieste and, during my participation in Enactus (an international university competition focused on sustainability), we launched Givit, an app that makes renting items safe and intuitive. At the end of the year, I moved to Milan to continue my studies.

I continued with the master’s degree in Design & Engineering at Politecnico di Milano, specializing in industrial product design to add a more creative side to my background. My passion for technology led me to UX/UI and digital design, while I kept developing Givit. In May we won the Enactus Investor Day in Rome, with funding to move the project forward.

I started the year with an Erasmus in Aarhus, Denmark (amazing pastries!), studying IT Product Development. With the Danish Red Cross I worked on an app that lets international students furnish their rooms with items from its stores and get 50% back when they leave, and we tested it with real users in-store.

From the studio to real buildings
In December 2025 I graduated in Design & Engineering with 110 cum laude. In 2026 I joined dormakaba, a leading Swiss multinational in access solutions, in Milan. I work alongside architects to identify the right access solutions and support them in bringing our products into their projects, from design intent to technical feasibility.
I also built, with Claude Code, an internal tool that turns configurator quotes into complete technical and economic specifications for architects, replacing hours of manual work. My team uses it, and we are evaluating extending it to other product categories.

I use AI every day, from generating visuals to building internal tools for my team with Claude Code and other AI tools.
