my design philosophy

how can we add moments of joy  into the experiences we design?

nice to meet you, i'm maria*

*the initials in my logo stand for Maria Isabel Oleaga, if you were curious :)

With a knack for the arts from an early age, and a passion for solving problems, I found myself in Product Design. Following this path meant moving out of my home country, Dominican Republic, and going to art school in Savannah, Georgia. After countless projects and nights spent at the workshop, I got my degree in Industrial Design and a minor in UX Design.

​

To start off my designer career, I was freelancing in Miami for a year. Then, with an opportunity to intern at VML in Atlanta, I packed up and moved to Georgia once again. A successful internship turned full time role, I stayed as an Experience Designer for 2 years. Working in projects for big clients such as Coca-Cola, Marvel, BASF, etc. I'm currently searching for my next opportunity and looking forward to where that will take me!
