Maria Luiza Goncharenko

Hello, I'm Maria

I'm 27 years old and have always been passionate about design, but it wasn't until university that I found my true calling. Inspired by a professor, I discovered the world of UX design, where I could combine my core values: empathy, precision, and creativity. To deepen my skills, I completed the Google UX Design course, which gave me a strong foundation and plenty of hands-on experience. I'm constantly striving to grow, creating solutions that are not only functional but truly meet users' needs. My goal is to design with purpose, blending aesthetics and usability to bring real value to the world.

My goal

I want to create simple and useful solutions that are accessible to everyone, regardless of their skills or limitations. I care about working in cohesive, dynamic teams where I can learn from others and share my knowledge, constantly improving my skills. I also try to stay up to date with new technologies and trends to create projects that truly meet people's needs and make their lives easier.
