Hi, I’m Maia, an award-winning UX designer and product strategist with over 20 years of experience helping startups, Fortune 500s, and mission-driven organizations create products people actually love. I’ve led projects for clients like The New York Times, Adobe, New West Knife Works, and the U.S. Army, blending strategic thinking with deep empathy for users.

At MCB Studios, we specialize in designing digital experiences that are simple, compelling, and functional. At our core, we are user advocates: we focus on the people using the product and what will serve them best, while making sure your business goals are met.

I thrive at the intersection of design and business. Over the years, I’ve helped companies modernize their sites, reorganize product catalogs, and redesign category and product pages so customers can easily find what they need and have a smooth, enjoyable experience. I love making order out of chaos and turning research-driven insights into actionable strategies that benefit both users and organizations.

My work spans information architecture, interaction design, product strategy, and digital media, across web, mobile, and enterprise platforms. I’ve built and scaled UX teams, collaborated closely with cross-functional stakeholders, and championed accessible, inclusive design practices.

Ultimately, I’m passionate about creating products that just… work — for users, for businesses, and for the people who make them.
