Experience
From a small studio in Berlin to leading design at a digital bank, and now working independently with teams I admire.
2023 – Now
Product designer and front-end developer

Partnering with a small number of teams each year, from the first workshop to launch and beyond. Recent clients include Atlas Mobility, Verdant Energy, Oakhouse Coffee and Parcelwise.
2020 – 2023
Design lead
Lumen Bank · Lisbon
Led a team of six designers through the redesign of Lumen's mobile app and the launch of savings goals, now used by more than a million customers.
2018 – 2020

Redesigned how research teams capture and make sense of their notes while the product grew from 6,000 to 40,000 teams.
2016 – 2018
Designer and front-end developer
Studio Parallel · Berlin
Designed and built websites for cultural institutions and start-ups at a small independent studio, and learned that the best design decisions happen close to the code.

Kind words
Founders, product leaders and engineers on the projects we shipped side by side.
Mara spent her first two weeks riding along with our drivers. Everything she designed after that felt obvious in hindsight, which is the highest compliment I can give a designer.
Inês Carvalho
Head of Product, Atlas Mobility
She designed the app, then she built it, then she stayed to make it better. Our engineers still reach for her components every single day.
Jonas Weber
CTO, Verdant Energy
Mara brought calm to a team that was moving very fast. She made it easy to say no to the wrong things, and our customers noticed the difference straight away.
Sofia Almeida
Chief Product Officer, Lumen Bank
Our online shop finally feels like walking into the café. Orders tripled, and our regulars keep telling us how easy it is to find their next favourite coffee.
Rita Moreira
Founder, Oakhouse Coffee
