About

I'm Maya, a designer who codes, or an engineer who designs, depending on the day. I've spent my career in the space between the two, where the interesting problems usually live.

I care about the small moments: the empty state, the error message, the thing that loads a half-second faster than you expected. That's where products earn trust.
