Hey there! Pleasure to meet you. I'm Maria, a versatile designer skilled in spaces, digital products, branding and illustration. My work as an urban researcher looks at how design, participation and creativity can help to create more caring cities.
Ready to create something extraordinary together?
With a Bachelor’s in Product Design from the University of Applied Sciences Aachen, my creative journey began in crafting objects and experiences that put people first. Over time, my curiosity expanded: From the scale of products to the scale of cities.
Today, I’m pursuing a Joint Master’s in Redesigning Post-Industrial Cities, a multidisciplinary programme across Germany, Ireland and the Netherlands. Through this, I explore how participatory and feminist approaches to urban design can help communities reclaim, reimagine, and co-create their public spaces.
My background spans spatial, product, UX, and integrated design, a mix that allows me to move fluidly between digital and physical environments. I love connecting design research with lived experiences, whether through placemaking, mapping, or co-design workshops.
Curious by nature and passionate about collaboration, I see design as a tool for connection, empathy, and care: a way to shape environments that reflect the people who inhabit them.
If you’d like to collaborate, share ideas, or just chat about cities, design, and belonging, I’d love to hear from you. Thank you for taking the time to explore my portfolio!
