About me
I’m Marianna, based in Toronto. I started my career as a software developer but was always drawn to design — the way it turns complexity into clarity, shapes intuitive experiences, and makes technology truly accessible.
Now I create user-friendly designs that help businesses achieve their goals while making products simple and enjoyable to use. For me, design is not just about aesthetics but about how it truly works for the user.
Outside of work, I enjoy travelling, hiking, and discovering beautiful places. It helps me recharge and bring fresh ideas to my projects.
