Hello, I’m Maria 🙂
Bringing my love for design, data, technology and people together, I was fortunate to study at the Technological University Dublin to earn my Master’s degree in UX. I am passionate about UX research and UI design for building intuitive and soul-satisfying technology products that align with user goals and business needs.
Having managed various internet projects and worked different jobs in the past, I have a diverse background in SEO Analytics, Accounting and Web Development. Therefore, this experience gives me a unique perspective and advantage when working as a UX/UI designer.
What I’m interested in:
Business and marketing, blockchain and crypto (I’ve been a big fan since 2016), digital product design and development, psychology, history, current affairs, finance and economy.
What I love to do:
Reading, yoga, healthy cooking, watching history documentaries, photography and video (both – taking and editing). Finally, I love designing funny t-shirts.
What I’m learning right now:
UX writing, Webflow
Some things you should probably know about me
- I am curious and love to go deep into the matters Im investigating.
- I invest time and energy in user research. I love semi-structured interviews and asking many questions (in most of my interviews, I ask more questions than I had planned).
- I love analytics and crunching numbers. I study website analytics deeply to help back up design decisions.
- I believe in life-long learning. So I’m on a new Skillshare or Udemy course all the time.
- I’m practical and business/marketing/sales oriented. Therefore, the product’s viability, feasibility and desirability are paramount to me.
