PhD in Design, Daniela Sangiorgi is associate professor at the Design Department of Politecnico di Milano. She has been one of the first scholars investigating the area of Service Design, with one of the first PhDs in the field. She worked for eight years for the research group Imagination at Lancaster University while co-authoring one of the first academic books on service design: 'Design for Services'.
Her research theme is the role of design for service innovations, with a particular focus on the public sector. Recently, she has been researching the specific field of mental healthcare, exploring the growing complexity of long-term transformational projects. She has published extensively in main Design and Service Research journals, and besides 'Design for Services' also co-edited another service design book 'Emerging issues in service design'. She has been working with local manufacturing SMEs and multinational organisations exploring scenarios, competences and tools for their development into service solution providers.
