Ilaria Ventrucci
Product Designer - Talent in Residence
Ilaria Ventrucci, born and raised in Romagna but Milanese by adoption, she graduated in 2012 in Industrial Design at the University of the Republic of San Marino / IUAV. After spending a year in London, looking at different realities and cultures, Ilaria feels the desire to deepen and improve her skills in the design field. She moved to Milan where she started the Master’s Degree in Product Design for Innovation at Politecnico, with the ambition to create herself a conscious and motivated point of view for future experiences.
Food, especially in Italy, is among the most popular conversation topics, able to evoke suggestions where experience and taste intertwine our personal biographies. Here is a careful reflection on Nutraceutical theories, a discipline that investigates all the components and active ingredients of foods with positive health effects. Ilaria is drawing a path that wants to bring design to interface such distant topics as biology, chemistry and medicine, analyzing the close relationship that exists between our diet and our health.
