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.
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’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.
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.
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.
