First of all, nice to meet you! :)
My name is Maria, I’m a UX/UI Designer and Developer, with main focus on the User Experience side of both, who loves brainstorming and solving problems to bring clients ideas to life.
I believe great design starts with understanding people, which I genuinely enjoy. No two people will ever be the same, so it is a never-ending process, which makes this journey a never-ending puzzle that is fun to solve.
I understand that not everyone agrees with this statement, but one of my favorite parts of my job is actually the interactions with clients. I love hearing their ideas, brainstorming with them, and seeing their face brighten when they see a solution they loved. Empathy and creativity are two of my strengths that I think make me ideal for this role, which is part of why I enjoy it so much!
I have experience in both UX/UI design and frontend development, which I believe is a great strength, and the perfect mix for my role. It means I can design realistic solutions without giving false hope to clients or massive headaches to other developers on my team, but it also means I can add or fix components by myself, without needing to wait for external designs.
Now, if you're thinking "Fine, enough about work already", I'm happy to tell you too! Outside of work, you’ll find me painting, playing or making video games, reading a book, or trying new hobbies like clay figurines and book binding. I love art that makes people feel something — happy, sad, cozy, nostalgic, or just understood. And between painting and games, I'm not sure which has the most potential for it, but I think they are very close in what they can represent or make you feel, but I am sure both are my favorite kinds of art.

I hope you're having a wonderful day, and I can't wait to talk to you!
Maria
