Mariana is a product designer that loves building things for the web. She's currently a Senior Product Designer at Vercel. My relationship with design started very early in my life. I've always been a very curious and visual person, so as a kid, activities like drawing and painting were my favorite ways to spend my time. I got my first computer when I was around seven years old.

I spent hours each day browsing these sites, and was obsessed with the idea of creating something on my own and publishing it for others to see. I vividly remember, very young and naive, "designing" a website in MS Paint. I consider that to be the first website I ever designed. After I grew older, I started to nurture a fascination with taste and craft in art and design. This sense of visual excellence is something that has always intrigued me and is a visceral part of my design process.
