About Brianna Maes
I'm a product designer whose journey began with my artistic upbringing—both of my parents are artists, so creativity was always at the heart of my world. I started in interior design, learning the power of material aesthetics and how space can influence experience. Driven by a desire to expand my design skills, I taught myself user interface (UI) design, and once I grasped the fundamentals, it naturally led me to user experience (UX) design. My experience with startup tech in the restaurant industry deepened my understanding of how thoughtful design can transform real-world challenges. I now combine my creative background with a user-centered approach to design solutions that are both functional and visually compelling.
