ABOUT ME
Maria Chang

HI!

I'M MARIA

Peruvian designer based in the U.S., interested in how technology shapes the way people work and access information.

I like learning through doing. I’m naturally curious and often find myself experimenting with new tools, ideas, and creative practices, whether that means prototyping, vibecoding, following tutorials, or teaching myself something completely new. Most recently: TouchDesigner.

I care about making products that turn complex experiences into something clearer, more accessible, and more human.
