Available to hire
Hi, I’m Maria Gamito from Lisbon, Portugal. I’m 26 years old and currently in Portugal (but I’m always ready for an adventure and to relocate somewhere). My high levels of creativity don’t let me stop and they boost my can-do attitude.
Design is a problem-solving tool that improves connections between people and products. I enjoy empathy and resilience, and I’m committed to doing my best every day, listening to the team, and helping push our projects forward.
