Nice to meet you!

I’m Mariana, 🛠️problem-solving junkie dedicated to transforming ambiguous problems into actionable decisions. A 🎬visual storyteller and ex-filmmaker, I use narrative thinking and pacing to structure messy systems and move confidently from research to execution. I act as a 🌉friction-to-action translator, turning user insights into seamless digital experiences and team collaboration into high-impact, clear flows.

For me, design
connects everything 🔗

From the moment I discovered product design, everything I’ve done, professionally and personally, has aligned. Human-centered design draws on all my strengths, and I love how it combines structure with creativity to make life simpler for people.

I am a multi-disciplinary lifelong learner 🤓

I’ve studied film, art, and graduated with honors in Design Management. My path has always crossed between worlds. In my personal life, I’m drawn to both art and science; I sing in a choir and love riddles and logic games.

Active listening is my way of communicating 👂

My curiosity drives me to ask questions until I truly understand- whether I’m speaking with a user, a developer, or an expert consultant. Seeing through different perspectives helps me design solutions that feel intuitive and grounded in reality.

I am a visual storyteller 🎞️

Everyone wants to feel that a story was made just for them. For me, design is storytelling- visual, emotional, and human. My background in film and documentary editing taught me how to weave visuals, rhythm, and emotion to guide attention and create connection.
