I’m Maria, Germany-based Product Designer. I combine my background in psychology and commerce to craft meaningful and data-driven user experiences that deliver on business value. I believe that cross-functional collaboration plays a crucial role in the design process, allowing for continuous learning and diverse perspectives to shape the outcome.
Outside of work, you can find me taking pictures on film, painting, and hiking in the mountains.
