HI!

I’m Riccardo Zambelli Hosmer, an Italian product designer graduated from IED Milan. I focus on projects that merge sustainability, research, and modular design, working to turn complex scenarios into simple and tangible solutions.

In every project I begin with research to understand context and people, then translate insights into tangible concepts. I prototype early, test, and refine—always keeping the bigger picture in mind to ensure solutions are useful, sustainable, and connected to their ecosystem.
