Nicola Galberti

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.

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. Engineering taught me the method, design opened me to creativity.

2023

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 facilitates the safe and intuitive rental of items. At the end of the year, I moved to Milan to continue my studies.

2024

I continued my master’s degree in Design & Engineering at Politecnico di Milano, specializing in industrial product design to add a more creative touch to my background. My passion for technology led me to focus on UX/UI and digital design, while continuing to develop Givit. In May, we secured funding at the Enactus National Competition to advance the project.

2025

I started the year with an Erasmus experience in Aarhus, Denmark (amazing pastries!), where I took a course in IT Product Development. I worked with the Danish Red Cross 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.

2026

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.
