Hi, I am Francesca
I’m a Senior Product Design Manager at Sysdig with 10+ years of experience in Cloud Security, B2B SaaS, AI, and data-heavy products.
As a designer, I have a background in Computer Science and feel at ease working in technical environments. I’m happy leading initiatives autonomously as an IC, and I also mentor and guide small design teams as they grow.
As a human, I can reliably pick a good melon at the supermarket.
My style is clean and intentional; I reduce and refine until only the essentials remain. I gravitate toward design that feels obvious and lets the technology speak without getting in the way.

Where’s the juice?
Many of the projects I’ve worked on are under NDA or still in active development, so I’m unable to share them publicly. I provide selected work examples privately during interviews and formal review processes.
