About me

Hello again :)

I'm Mariana

I’m a product design with over five years of experience, specializing in tool-based software that focuses on the "Job to Be Done." My work has spanned industries, from aviation to marketing firms, where I’ve helped local businesses build apps and solutions that drive real-world impact.

My mission is to continue creating experiences that help users achieve their goals and improve how they interact with the world around them.
