I hold an MA in Industrial Design and have almost 20 years of experience as a UX designer.
I’ve led large-scale, technology-driven projects and apply creative thinking — the focus of my studies — to everything I do. My curiosity and analytical mindset help me design experiences that serve both users and business goals.

"I've managed Maria for over a year in her role as the UX Designer for HP Operations Analytics. Maria has a thirst for learning, and really wants to know and understand the customer and user that will be buying the product.
She's is really good at analyzing all the tasks and use cases, in order to come up with the appropriate design.
But my favorite aspect of her work is that she constantly challenges her own designs, and is not afraid of change. She usually shares multiple designs to elicit feedback, and as additional information comes to light, she embraces it. "
"Maria is a reliable, robust user experience designer. I had the privilege of having her on my team at BlueDot, where she led the design of our most challenging analytics & data visualization product.
Maria fluidly designs around complex workflows, and excels at securing tactical usability improvements while working toward longer-term product goals. Her experience, maturity, and drive really shine as she proactively owns the work, keeps her target on better future designs, and takes initiative to build and steer consensus amongst stakeholders.
Maria would be a valuable asset to any team needing a strong UX backbone."
