How five designers actually use Figma
Filippo Piantini is the homebanking Mobile App Product Owner at Findomestic Banca Spa (BNP Paribas Group).
Lately, his work has evolved more into project management. He still loves to "get his hands dirty" with sketching and wireframing whenever he gets the opportunity!
In his spare time he likes to write about video games and Japanese robot models. Generally speaking, he is into design in its every form.
As you might guess from the photos, the room of his workspace was originally intended to be his private game room.
When he originally moved into this house, his work was 100% office based, so he didn't need a proper workspace at home.
He now spends 2-3 days per week working at this home office.

What is your favorite item in your workspace?
This is a hard choice, but I'd say my Secretlab chair. It's way too comfy, even for extended working (or gaming) sessions.
How do you spark creativity?
Music is my trigger. But also, when I'm working at home, I force myself to take brief breaks and completely unplug from work.
How do you manage work-life balance?
I must admit I have room for improvement about this, but, since I have many hobbies, such as sport activity, I do not suffer from overworking aside from particular times when we get close to projects release deadlines.
What do you think is the main benefit of remote work?
I'd say that reducing wasted commuting times is the main benefit. But also having a personal, isolated, quiet space in which you can focus with no external distraction is another great pro.
