Hi, I'm Mariana.
I design digital
products.
Product designer with 8 years of experience crafting intuitive, beautiful interfaces for startups and established brands. I turn complex problems into simple, delightful experiences.
About Me
I'm Mariana, a product designer based in Lisbon. For the past eight years, I've been helping startups and creative teams design digital products that are both beautiful and functional. I believe great design is invisible -- it gets out of the way and lets people do what they came to do.
My approach blends strategic thinking with hands-on craft. I start every project by understanding the people who will use it, then work through research, prototyping, and iteration until the design feels effortless. Outside of work, you'll find me sketching in coffee shops, exploring type foundries, or hiking the Portuguese coast.
