About me

I’m Marianna, a UX/UI designer based in Toronto. I started my career in development, which taught me how products are built and where teams often face challenges. This experience now helps me design solutions that are not only user-friendly but also efficient to implement.

 

I work with businesses and startups to transform ideas into clear, intuitive products that support growth and streamline development. My goal is to make technology simple, effective, and valuable — for both users and the teams who build it.

​

Outside of work, I recharge through traveling and hiking, which inspire fresh perspectives I bring into my design process.


I aim to be a reliable partner for businesses, turning complex challenges into products that truly work and deliver results.
