About

Elia Saltarello
Freelance UI/UX Designer
Based in Venice
I’m Elia – a UI/UX Designer with a Master’s degree in UI/UX Design from Paris.
I have over 6 years of experience delivering intuitive interfaces and collaborating closely with product and engineering teams.
I graduated from the University of Padua with a degree in Communication, where I first explored design through print and illustration projects. After graduation, I worked as a front-end developer for just over a year, which sparked my passion for UI and UX design.
Driven by a desire to learn more, I moved to Paris to further my education and advance my career. I enrolled in the French Master’s program in UI/UX Design, a collaboration between Sorbonne Université and Campus Fonderie de l’Image. Among the courses I took, my favorites were Project Management, User Interface Design, Visual Culture, Ergonomics, and UX Design Methodology. While studying in Paris, I also had the opportunity to attend several conferences and participate in two hackathons organized by CFI.
While completing my studies, I worked in alternance at Rainbow, a fast-growing Parisian startup focused on combating climate change. As the first designer hired, I was responsible for managing and creating the design of their flagship products—the MRV and the Registry—when the team was still only five people.
Now, I work as a Freelance UI/UX Designer. My approach to design is to deliver more with less: I believe simplicity and minimalism are key to creating powerful, functional, and memorable experiences.
I’m highly proficient in Figma, Illustrator, Framer, Webflow, WordPress, Notion, Microsoft Office, and Google Workspace. My skill set spans from SEO best practices to front-end coding in HTML, CSS, and C#.

Throughout his time with us, he made significant contributions across a wide range of assets and products, including our white paper, public website, carbon registry, and LCA platform.
Elia consistently brought a sharp eye for clean and attractive design. His ability to understand and translate ideas into intuitive interfaces was key to our early stages.

“For my WHISE website I hired Elia. He helped me create the brand image, created the wireframe of the website and then brought it to life. He has always been available and punctual with the deliveries of the various projects. Furthermore, as an experienced designer, in addition to design, he also offers advice and guidance for the project you want to develop. He does a great job! Highly recommended.”
