Stefani Banchetti

Stefani is a design researcher and strategist who helps digital teams navigate ambiguity and make confident, evidence-based decisions. With more than 15 years of experience across healthcare, public safety, technology, and the nonprofit sector, she specialises in exploratory and generative research that uncovers the human realities behind product challenges. Her multidisciplinary training in industrial design, architecture, and education informs a practice grounded in rigorous methods, clear communication, and practical strategic impact.

Stefani has built and led research functions, guided mission-critical product initiatives from discovery through launch, and shaped roadmaps for organisations working in complex and high-stakes environments. She is known for translating messy qualitative signals into structured insights, aligning cross-functional teams around shared understanding, and helping product leaders turn research into measurable outcomes and direction. Her work consistently strengthens decision quality, reduces uncertainty, and brings clarity to moments where teams need it most.

When she’s not synthesising research or mapping journeys, she can be found sketchnoting or building wooden toy trucks in her garage shop.
