About me

Hi, I’m Mariana—UX Designer and XR Specialist. I love creating immersive, intuitive experiences that not only engage users but also help businesses thrive. My background in Architecture and Urban Design taught me how to balance user needs with business goals, all while keeping designs both functional and visually compelling.

I’m passionate about blending the physical and digital worlds through XR design. From research to launch, I’m hands-on at every stage, ensuring that design drives real results for both users and businesses.

Originally from Mexico with Brazilian roots, I’ve embraced cultures all my life. Since moving to the Bay Area, my French-Caribbean husband and I have built a truly international family. When I’m not designing, you’ll find me outdoors with my family or enjoying a cozy night in. We love traveling the world, teaching our kids the value of different cultures.

Let’s connect and create something extraordinary together!

My Design Principles

User-Centered at Every Step

Real impact comes from understanding users deeply. Research, empathy, and iteration are the foundation.

Technology as a Tool, Not a Barrier

Whether XR, AI, or web, I ensure that technology enhances rather than complicates experiences.
