Hi! My name is Mara :)

I’m a ux designer drawn to complex, information-dense problems and the challenge of making them feel intuitive. I design systems and experiences where clarity, structure, and thoughtful decisions matter more than novelty.

My work focuses on shaping scalable, resilient products — often across search, content discovery, workflows, and tools that evolve over time. I enjoy working closely with product and engineering partners, using research, iteration, and clear design rationale to move ideas forward.

Before moving into product design, I worked in apparel design, which deeply shaped how I think about systems, constraints, and craft. Designing within production timelines and real-world limitations taught me how to balance creativity with practicality — a mindset I continue to bring into my UX work today.

Outside of work, I enjoy quieter, grounding things — spending time with my dog, walking, and finding moments to reset. I’m drawn to work environments that value curiosity, care, and collaboration, and I’m always open to connecting if my work resonates.
