Hello, I’m Maria, currently I lead
product design at Hints, where I design software for human–agent interactions.

Previously, I (1) led product design
for Web at Copilot Money, (2) worked
on growth and user acquisition for cybersecurity SaaS at Group-IB, (3) explored product ideas at Cornell Tech in collaboration with Big Tech,
(4) designed TakeOFF, a fintech app,
from 0 to 1, and (5) worked independently.

I believe in (1) strong ideas over strong opinions, (2) prototypes as the fast path to alignment, (3) relentless reduction of complexity, and (4) strong foundations, built smart, as the way to build fast.

I value (1) craft, (2) care,
(3) intentionality, (4) clarity, (5) integrity,
and (6) humanism.
