About Me
Hi, I'm Marianne
I create strategic and visually compelling digital experiences that balance function and aesthetics.
As a student in the Pratt Institute Master in Information Experience Design (IXD) program, I am learning how to become a well-rounded UX Designer who puts the user at the forefront of every design decision, prioritizing empathetic human-centered design.
With over four years of experience in management consulting I have the tools and experience working with clients to formulate solutions that fit the needs of every stakeholder involved. I believe that great design goes beyond aesthetics. It solves problems, simplifies complexity, and delivers meaningful experiences for everyday people.
