About Chiara
Chiara Rusconi is a UX researcher at Studio Campo in Lugano, where she fuses Italian curiosity with Swiss rigour. Her research practice is built on empathy and evidence: she runs studies that surface what people actually do, then translates the findings into interfaces that feel proportioned and balanced rather than merely styled.
Her published work explores proportion and harmony in user interfaces — the quiet mathematics behind what makes a screen feel “right”. A classically trained pianist, she argues that music and design obey the same laws of tension, rhythm, and resolution.
