Hello, I’m Maria

I’m a product designer (User Experience/User Interface) with a background in visual, editorial, and interaction design, 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 a decade 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
