I turn complex, data-heavy problems into interfaces that feel effortless, and a little bit delightful.

About

Hi, I'm Maria. I'm a Product Designer with over 8 years of experience, currently based in Cali, Colombia.

My work lives at the intersection of complex systems and human clarity. I've spent most of my career taking dense, technical, data-heavy products, from genomic research platforms to crypto payment tools, and reshaping them into experiences people actually understand on the first try.

Before design, I studied Film and Communication. That background still shapes how I work: every project is a story with a beginning (the problem), a turning point (the decision), and an ending (the impact). I bring that structure into how I design and how I explain my thinking to teams and stakeholders.

I also design with AI as part of my process, not around it. Tools like Figma Make, Claude, and Notion AI are part of my daily workflow, helping me prototype faster and think more clearly, not replacing the thinking itself.

What I'm good at:

  • Simplifying complex, multi-step workflows without losing functionality

  • Building and scaling design systems from scratch

  • Translating technical and business constraints into interfaces people trust

  • Working closely with engineering teams through detailed handoff and specs
