I'm Sara,
a UX/UI designer!
I turn complex ideas into clear, useful and memorable digital experiences.
My selected works
Four projects across product design, research and visual identity, each shaped by a clear problem and a considered response.
Designed with intention
How I Bring Ideas to Life
My process combines research, creativity, and iteration to turn ideas into meaningful digital experiences. I focus on understanding the problem, exploring possibilities, and refining each solution with intention.
(01)
Understand
I start by understanding the people, context, and problem behind each project.
(02)
Explore
I explore ideas, references, and different possibilities to find meaningful directions.
(03)
Design
I turn insights into structured experiences, intuitive interfaces, and visual systems.
(04)
Prototype
I bring ideas to life through interactive prototypes and explore how the experience feels in use.
(05)
Refine
I test, iterate, and polish the details until the solution feels clear, purposeful, and cohesive.
Beyond the interface
I'm Sara Maradiaga, a UX/UI Designer and recent Digital Animation and Interactive Design graduate from UNITEC. My experience focuses on interface design, interactive prototyping, and redesigning complex digital platforms.
I'm especially interested in the research side of UX, understanding users, identifying their challenges, and using insights to inform better design decisions. I bring a detail-oriented, problem-solving approach to my work and enjoy collaborating across teams and time zones, whether remotely or with occasional travel.
My background in animation and interactive design has shaped the way I approach digital products, combining creativity with a strong attention to detail. I'm always looking to learn, explore new tools, and create experiences that feel purposeful, engaging, and easy to use. I'm open to remote opportunities with occasional travel and comfortable collaborating across time zones.
