ABOUT ME            CONTACT ME  

Welcome

It was the cusp of the 20th and 21st centuries when, in a small town in the Venetian province, a girl was born.
“She started dancing before she walked,” her mother would say. Music made her soul vibrate—she couldn’t stay still.
Then life happened. And stillness arrived.She sat down and started writing—
“For a million different reasons, and for a million different seasons.”A few decades later, she’s still writing.
As Nietzsche once whispered: “You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.”
So she did.And here are the stories born from that chaos.

A darkly funny, whiskey-drenched, and unapologetically raw spin-off of Californication, God Hates Us All is about writers, ruin, and the stories that refuse to die.

All that is

About me

I’m a storyteller who's exploring the intersection of psychology, emotion, and human transformation. My work often blurs the line between the real and the surreal — grounded in truth, elevated by imagination.Growing up and moving frequently all around the world, taught me how deeply environment shapes identity. My stories explore what happens when inner truth collides with external expectation — whether through trauma, resilience, or reinvention.I’m based in Los Angeles, developing projects that bridge emotion, psychology, and spirituality and I'm open to collaboration, representation, and meaningful creative partnerships.The stories I write are simply reflections of the question I live by: what happens when the soul remembers what the mind forgot?

My Books

I’ve written several books in English and Italian, spanning fiction, memoir, poetry, and philosophy. Each one explores transformation, consciousness, and what it means to be human. Writing is how I make sense of chaos—how I turn emotion into something that speaks back. Every story I create carries a piece of that journey.
My books are available worldwide through Amazon.

Where words meet design
and
technology learns empathy

I turn complexity into clarity through storytelling, UX, and content design, now laser-focused on AI to build strategy with empathy and intent.

Here are a few use cases from my recent work. Just start scrolling...

THE LATEST: An assessment I've done for a company that requested me to: "to take this blog post — SWE-Bench Failures: When Coding Agents Spiral Into 693 Lines of Hallucinations — and reimagine it for X.
Create a series of posts that convey the blog’s core ideas in a way you think would resonate with our audience. You might choose to write a thread, a few standalone posts or a mix, use your creativity to decide what works best!
Along with your posts, please include a brief explanation of your strategy: how you chose to frame the content and why you think your approach would connect with readers on X."

Redefining the voice of Verizon’s AI Assistant through updated conversational standards.

Challenge:
The existing conversational guidelines were fragmented across teams and written for legacy, scripted chatbots, not for adaptive, generative systems. As Verizon evolved its AI capabilities, the Assistant’s tone, structure, and empathy rules needed to reflect a more natural, human-like communication style while staying on brand and compliant.Approach:
As the Lead Content Strategist and POC assigned to the Design Team for the Verizon Assistant, I led a full audit and rewrite of the Verizon Assistant Conversational Guidelines.
I consolidated linguistic principles, tone frameworks, and error-handling standards into a cohesive, scalable system. The new guidelines introduced 1. Tone layers that adapt to user emotion, intent, and context; 2. Protocols for sensitive moments (billing issues, etc); 3. Response architecture models that balance brevity, clarity, and warmth.I collaborated with design, legal, and NLP engineering to validate examples through real conversation data and A/B testing, ensuring the framework aligned with both brand and ethical AI principles.Impact:
• Created the unified standard for all conversational products under the Verizon AI ecosystem.
• Improved response consistency and user trust metrics across 3+ business units.
• Established the foundation for tone training within the GenAI Playbook.

Redesigning how millions interact with Verizon Assistant through generative AI.

Challenge:
Traditional chatbots rely on rigid scripts and can't adapt to users’ tone or intent.Approach:
As the Lead Content Strategist and POC assigned to the Design Team for the Verizon Assistant, I led the design of a scalable conversational framework.
I built the VZA GenAI Prompt System: a modular prompt and tone library enabling adaptive, brand-aligned responses.
Partnering with data science and engineering, we trained the LLM on real user sentiment to fine-tune empathy, context handling, and personalization.Impact:
• +23% user satisfaction in pilot tests.
• Became Verizon’s internal master Playbook for Gen AI.
• Set new standards for ethical, human-centered AI at scale.

Designing voice, naming, and tone for new features like After Dark and Bitmoji Drops, while redefining Snapchat’s content standards.

Challenge:
Snapchat’s late-night engagement feature, After Dark, and its Bitmoji Drops product needed a cohesive tone that balanced fun, spontaneity, and brand authenticity. At the same time, internal writing guidelines were overly technical, filled with platform jargon that didn’t reflect the approachable voice users loved.Approach:
As the Lead Content Designer, I partnered cross-functionally with Product, Design, Legal, and Localization teams to name After Dark and establish its core voice identity.
I crafted playful in-app prompts and notifications designed to drive organic participation while maintaining transparency and brand alignment.In parallel, I led a full guideline refresh, replacing outdated, technical phrasing with principle-based conversational guidance that mirrored our user-facing tone. The new framework emphasized: 1. Plain-language clarity; 2. Consistent tone modules for different contexts; 3. Brand personality scalable across new features.Impact:
• After Dark name and tone successfully adopted across launch campaign and in-app surfaces.
• Improved voice consistency and reduced content revisions across 3+ product areas.
• New internal content system became the standard for future feature launches.

Enjoy a pre-scripted conversation with Laura's Digital Assistant:

Designing voice and UX copy for Alexa’s new features and building scalable messaging guidelines for the Personality team.

Challenge:
The Alexa design team had never worked with a dedicated UX writer before. Copy across multiple flows lacked clarity, consistency, and a unified tone. There was also no centralized repository for messaging guidance, making it hard for designers to maintain Alexa’s voice across experiences.Approach:
As the Senior UX Writer on the Alexa Personality team, I partnered with PMs and UX designers to refine most flows for the Alexa App, improving clarity, pacing, and visual hierarchy. I made sure utterance consistency existed across screens to align with established VUI patterns and I created UX writing guidelines and messaging scenarios for future writers and designers, mapping screen levels and personality features to standardized tone and structure.I also participated in the Alexa Hackathon 2022, proposing Alexa Talk2Me: a "toggleable" conversational mode designed to support users through grounding and talk therapy techniques. I wrote the full VUI script and led a small team of designers through concept development.Impact:
• Refined and standardized UX copy across multiple Alexa features ready for launch.
• Delivered the first UX writing guideline framework for the Personality team, still used as a reference for new writers.
• Alexa Talk2Me entered concept development with VUI designers.

Rebuilding the TikTok for Business Help Center and chatbot content strategy to make self-service support simple, human, and scalable for advertisers worldwide.

Challenge:
The existing Help Center was fragmented, redundant, and difficult to navigate; articles overlapped across regions and lacked consistent tone or UX hierarchy.
Meanwhile, TikTok’s customer-support chatbot relied on hardcoded responses that didn’t reflect advertiser intent, resulting in user drop-offs and low CSAT scores.Approach:
As the Senior UX Writer and Lead Content Strategist, on the Product and Monetization team, I led a dual-track effort:Help Center Overhaul: Audited and repurposed hundreds of articles into a single structured knowledge system, simplifying the IA and rewriting content for global consistency in TikTok’s fast, visual style: concise 60-second guidance videos and simplified articles.Chatbot UX Writing & Strategy: 1. Partnered with engineers, PMs, and data analysts to map user intents and create a structured response library. 2. Wrote and categorized conversational answers based on real advertiser queries, guiding users through topics like account setup, billing, and campaign management. 3. Introduced tone calibration layers and handoff triggers for escalation to live agents. 4. Built a taxonomy that connected intents to Help Center articles, enabling seamless transitions between chat and content.Impact:
• Streamlined and unified the Help Center content ecosystem across markets.
• Reduced content duplication and support friction for advertisers.
• Established the foundation for TikTok’s conversational support framework, now integrated into the Business site’s global chatbot experience.

I'm Laura and I build stories that think and make you think.
Sometimes they become interfaces, sometimes they become systems. Sometimes they show up on a screen. Sometimes they show up in a sentence, in a book, or in a newsletter...I’ve written for digital assistants, helping machines talk so they can sound more human (Alexa and Verizon), I've helped brands feel young writing for their end users (TikTok, Snapchat), and I've supported companies grow and expand globally (eSalon, Vizion Solar, and others) writing their whole database of content.
My work lives somewhere between creativity, design and psychology — where words shape behavior and tone becomes trust.I make words work harder, and smarter, because behind every button, every chat bubble, every single line of copy, there’s a person who needs to make sense of what we build... for them.

Lyrics

I write what doesn’t get sent. The message typed, deleted, typed again. I write the quiet between two people who almost said it... I write it all.ASCAP-registered lyricist
for artists, film, and television.I care about the fracture in a voice, the memory that lingers too long, the moment before someone leaves. Every line has to feel lived in. Every word has to mean it.

Selected Lyrics

Peripheral – Intimate / Alt-Rock
Peripheral.
Like a missed goodnight, or two, or three.
A “look at the moon” message left unsent.
Like frozen moments in time, shared with the world, not between us.
A silent scream, like gasping for air in the wind.
Like the subtle difference between “enjoy seeing” and “miss seeing” …you. Me.
Peripheral.
Like just pretending. Reminding myself, once again, nobody will ever know what a smile, mine, can hide.Rain – Mournful / Cinematic
Cracked ground learned patience under a sky that forgot how to answer,
days stretched thin, without a scent
To bring me home, to feel like home.
Then Rain.
Softly invigorating.
Not loud. Not urgent. Not a storm.
A melody through the air;
Patiently waiting…
then just flowing.
Thirst dissolved its armor,
roots leaned in, no questions asked,
Old wounds dying to be watered.
Again.
Not a rescue: no one’s saved,
Yet. No promise in the distance.
Just new sounds for those ears deafened by the drought of the past years.
A deep breath, the music of fresh... rain.
