Experience

Hi, I am Maria!
Previously a Systems Engineer from Peru, I recently completed an intensive two-year STEM graduate program from the University of Miami, earning a Master's in Interactive Media with a focus on UX Research and Interaction Design.
I am passionate about designing for people, and facilitating everyday interactions through designs that have been validated through research. I seek to provide solutions by designing with purpose and I am excited to apply my skill set within the technology, research, and innovation industries. My background in engineering provides me with a multidisciplinary skill set that allows me to approach projects methodically and efficiently. I aim for innovation, while still maintaining feasibility.
I'm a curious designer who picks up new things quickly. Several of my recent projects demonstrate my abilities as a designer and researcher, skilled in creating products and services for all people. I look forward to applying my expertise in UX Research, Data Visualization and Design to propose solutions while designing helpful digital products.
