Hey, I’m Maria!

Designer at Google | DEPT® Toronto. I believe that functional design should also look great. I design artifacts that smash business objectives and look pretty enough to put on your Pinterest board.

Outside of design, I’m also working with generative AI every day to create useful tools and fun experiments.
