Bio

Hi! I’m Margherita, born and raised in a small town in Italy, where the landscape is made up of hills dotted with wheat fields, sunflowers, vineyards, and olive groves. There is no traffic noise and that is good, but the downside is that I often struggle with a bad internet signal.

I’m a freelance web designer since 2013

I help freelance women professionals and women small business owners thrive online with their ventures, managing their websites, blogs, and e-commerce stores. I build them, maintain them, and fix them using the open-source WordPress platform.

I also dedicate part of my free time to WordPress itself, serving as a Content Translator for the Training Team, organizing WordPress Meetup Ancona, managing the social media channels for WordPress Community Italia, and undertaking various other online and in-person activities, primarily focusing on Accessibility & DEI Advocacy.

In 2022, I was honored to receive the Kim Parsell Scholarship from the WordPress Foundation, and in 2023, I was selected to participate in the WordPress Community Summit at National Harbor, MD.

I collect lipsticks (or other make-up) and stationary—pens, colored pencils, stickers and notebooks (can you see why I love going to WordCamps?!). And I’m always up for pizza night.

Interests

People, cats, stationary & lipsticks. Not necessarily in that order.

As WordPress Foundation’s Kim Parsell Memorial Scholarship Recipient in 2022, I could attend WordCamp US in San Diego (CA). I was one of 125 people invited to join and discuss at WordPress Community Summit in National Harbor (MD) in 2023.

I am looking for sponsorship to contribute as a mentor in the WP Credits program.
