Hi There! I'm Maria, a User Experience Design Major with Minors in Graphic Design and Marketing, graduating from Bradley University in May of 2026.
Why UX?
I was first drawn to UX design because it blends creativity, psychology, and technology in a way that felt perfect for me. As I explored the field further I became fascinated by the impact thoughtful design can have on people's lives. What excites me most is how UX design has the power to solve real problems for real people—creating intuitive, accessible, and meaningful experiences that make everyday tasks easier and more enjoyable.
Fun Facts
Outside of design, I love multitasking—whether it's going for a walk or run while taking in my surroundings, or diving into a good book with a little music in the background. I also love family time, thrifting with my mom and twin sister is my favorite summer activity, always on the hunt for unique finds!
