About

 

Hi, I’m Maya—a digital product designer creating agentic experiences at Ascertain (prev. IBM Design Studios)

I got my BFA from Parsons School of Design, New York. Before Ascertain, I designed B2B infrastructure management experiences at IBM Design Studios. I am passionate about the end-to-end design process from deeply understanding user needs to using and buildings design systems, and creating visually compelling screens with custom illustrations and animations. Below are some of my interests outside work that shape the way I approach design problems. I enjoy getting inspired by and using analog methods of crafting like printed media, art, or tangible interactions and translating those into my digital design process.
