I’m Maria, a designer focused on creating work that makes a difference. For me, design goes beyond aesthetics. It is about creating work that works, that simplifies, guides, and improves how people interact with systems, products, and brands. With a master’s in graphic design, I work across branding, packaging, and UI/UX, with a strong focus on clarity, usability, and problem solving. Whether I’m building a brand, designing a product, or mapping a user journey, I aim to combine strong visual thinking with intuitive and effective design. I’m especially interested in projects where design has real impact, whether that means making complex tools easier to use, improving user experiences, or turning ideas into clear and meaningful solutions. Let’s connect if you’re building something that needs to work, not just look good.
