Hi, I’m Maria

I’m a product designer (User Experience/User Interface) with a background in visual and interaction design, civil/environmental engineering, and a passion for designing human-centered experiences. I am currently part of the product design team at Procore Technologies, where we build software for the construction industry. Specifically, I have designed user-facing experiences in our 3D model viewers, coordination issues, notifications, engagement platform, and connected projects for web, iOS, Android, and .NET-based applications.

Prior to Procore, I led product design at AFAR, a travel media startup, where I worked closely with my team to provide our visitors with an optimal experience of our travel content site. While there, I developed a design system and component library based on Brad Frost’s Atomic Design book, in an effort to help my small team innovate more quickly and efficiently.

I also spent ten years as an art director and designer for major publishing companies like Meredith, Time Inc., Time Out New York, and American Express Publishing (RIP). It was during this time that I honed my skills in typography, composition, page layout, visual hierarchy, and storytelling.

I enjoy solving complex problems through technology and design to improve people’s lives in small or big ways.

Cheers,
Maria
