Architect and PhD in Interior Architecture and Exhibit Design, is Associate Professor at the Department of Design, Politecnico di Milano, where she carries out researches between urban design and interior design, focusing on the social and ephemeral aspects of the project.

In 2004 she founded with Davide Crippa the Ghigos studio, since then she has designed exhibitions and installations for international institutions, which also exposed the studio's projects (among which Maxxi, Expo2015, MoMA, Milan Triennale, Venice Biennale).

In 2013 she founded an experimental design-oriented fablab, aimed at combining and exploring the technical skills, social impact and aesthetic frontiers of new digital technologies.

Since 2015 she coordinates the Master in Urban Interior Design (MUID), now Master in Design for Public Space (DPS), organized and promoted by Politecnico di Milano and POLIdesign.

With the 'Places +' research group, she pursues the dissolution of traditional disciplinary boundaries and investigates the role and opportunities of design in the contemporary scenario, in particular by promoting design as a means of (social, environmental and energy) sustainability with applications in the urban and museum fields.

Within the research group 'Reside' (REgenerative Spatial Innovation DEsign), she addresses the issue of the reuse of abandoned buildings with a view to spatial redevelopment, social reactivation and urban regeneration of neighbouring areas.

On these topics she is currently following the funded research “De.Sign. The role of design in the energy transition process” (for ENEA); “CAPitoli Urbani” (for CAP); “AMSHI – Advanced solutions for mitigating the impact of heat islands on urban road” (for Alta Scuola Politecnica); “Greenway dei due parchi. Vivere il territorio” (for Regione Lombardia); "Re-factor" (for Social Factory) and “The Crossmodal Congruence Toolkit: a Behavioural Neuroscience Framework for Spatial Design” (PRIN2022).
