Description

Hi, I'm Malu. I'm a Product Designer with a passion for art and technology. When I was little, I imagined I'd probably become an artist, but along the way, I discovered other interests, and when I realized that, there I was, enjoying programming and creating interface screens. I've been working in design for a while now, and I'm looking for opportunities to enhance my experience and create incredible new projects for your company. So, let's talk and work together!
