Background

About Anthony Ferri

I’m a planner, designer, and researcher-turned-strategist who specializes in how people navigate space, physically, emotionally, and cognitively. My background spans urban planning, wayfinding design, academia, and consultancy, with a focus on mobility, user experience, and public realm systems. I hold a PhD in Systems Engineering focused on wayfinding, where I explored how people interact with signage, digital tools, and sensory cues in complex environments. I’ve translated those insights into practical strategy and design, whether advising cities on pedestrian legibility, supporting service design teams, or creating behavioural frameworks for signage and mapping. What drives me is helping people feel confident in space. I believe wayfinding is more than signage, it’s about dignity, clarity, and inclusivity in movement. Let’s connect if you’re working on something in placemaking, spatial UX, or mobility innovation. I’d love to collaborate.
