WHO THIS?
This is Maria, a Digital Creative Director & Designer with 12+ years of global experience.
With an engineering background, I have a thing for flashy stuff that hits you right in the feels 🦄✨. That’s why I get to blend creativity and tech into cool immersive experiences 🪄.
I also get bored way too easily (seriously), so I’ve worn many hats 🤠—software developer, project manager, researcher, product designer, and creative director. I’m your jack of all trades 🤹🏻, always on the lookout for new adventures.
These days, I help brands sail the wild waters of XR, AI, Virtual Worlds, and Web3 🤖. Good luck explaining that to my grandma! :B
When I’m off the clock, you’ll find me upside down on my aerial silks 🐒, showering my cat with love 😺, or just lounging at the beach without an umbrella (because that’s for the weak 😎).
