After a three-year degree in Environmental & Industrial Design, Matteo enrolled in the Master in Product & Furniture Design at Istituto Marangoni Milano Design, where he graduated in 2022. Soon after, he joined the Prisma Project, a group of talented designers graduated from Istituto Marangoni Milano Design, created by the school to promote collaborations with prestigious Italian design brands.

Matteo gained his first professional experiences initially as Product Designer for Arredamenti Novalinea, and later as Graphic Designer for Faraone Industrie. In 2024, he joined as Junior Designer the team of Zona Sarpi, a platform that promotes a network of design-related projects and cultural initiatives in the Milanese neighborhood of Paolo Sarpi.

Over the course of professional path, Matteo has distinguished himself by participating in numerous projects and initiatives. In 2022, during his studies at Istituto Marangoni, his work was selected for Explore Cappellini Multiverse, a project born from the collaboration between the school of Milano Design and Giulio Cappellini, exhibited in the Durini District during Milan Design Week. In 2023 he took part in Mirage Expansion, a project created and exhibited for Mirage, an leading Italian company in the ceramic sector, in collaboration with the Prisma Project. Also in the same year, in December, his Yerva project won the Isola Community Award and was a finalist in the Innovation category at the Isola Design Awards.

In 2025, also during Milan Design Week, he was selected among the three designers for the project “Design Hold Memories,” promoted by Istituto Marangoni Milano Design and Smeg. The project involved the transformation of three FAB refrigerators into unique works of art, presented in an immersive installation. His Seven Shapes project was selected as the winner of the contest, and the refrigerator he designed will be produced and distributed on a large scale. Seven Shapes reinterprets the refrigerator as a space for creative expression and domestic play, drawing inspiration from the Chinese Tangram to introduce decorations that combine design and playful dimensions.
