Hi! I’m Maria

I began my career in UX with IBM Design in Austin, Texas (where I still live today).

During my time there I worked on everything from mobile apps to physical and virtual reality experiences to platform services. I then brought these skills with me to Procore Technologies where I worked on their suite of financial tools.

Also at IBM I received training in Enterprise Design Thinking and discovered a love of facilitating group workshops and helping teams collaborate better. Over the years I’ve facilitated countless workshops, meetings, and working sessions (both in person and remote), with groups from 3 to over 60 people.

I firmly believe that a healthy culture and good communication are the keys to a successful team. And while I am passionate about achieving results, I try not to take myself too seriously in work or in life. You can find me on a plane to somewhere new, or pursuing my many active hobbies like hiking, lifting or golfing.
