Tiny experiments,
big curiosity.

Not everything needs a client.
Small interaction studies, visual systems and strange little prototypes made simply because the idea was too fun not to try.

About
The human behind the tabs.
I design digital things with clarity, motion and a little mischief.
I am Maya, an independent product designer and creative developer. I like useful systems, strong typography, human interfaces, slightly weird experiments and websites that do not feel interchangeable.

My internet
Everything I am into, all in one place.
A living mix of work, social links, music, experiments and tiny corners of the web that feel like me.
