Hands-on support
🎯 Trying to land your first UX job?
I can help you stand out — even without big-name brands in your past.
Whether it’s polishing your CV and portfolio, crafting case studies that showcase your skills, or preparing for interviews, I’ll help you tell a clear story, think strategically, and present yourself with confidence.
I’ve supported many career changers, self-taught designers, and students with only personal projects. I know the challenges — and how to make the journey smoother.
💼 Already working in UX?
If you’re in your first role — especially as a solo designer — I can help you level up, navigate team dynamics, and grow your skills faster.
🚀 Building a digital product?
I also work with entrepreneurs and early-stage startups, providing UX audits and actionable feedback to improve both user experience and business results.
👋 About me
I’m a Senior UX Designer from Italy with 7+ years of experience in SaaS products (banking, real estate, risk management, digital signage) — mostly in B2B.
I’ve also worked in agencies focused on UX, UI, and CRO, and spent 4 years as a solo designer, so I understand the challenges first-hand.
With a background in Psychology and a Master’s in Human-Computer Interaction, I stay active in the field through conferences, design events, and hackathons. I’ve been mentoring on MentorCruise since 2022 with consistently great feedback — and I’d love to support your growth too.
🌍 Parity pricing available!
If you're in a country with different income levels, message me and I’ll offer a custom rate after your trial.

Working with Maria Teresa has been extremely helpful in defining the path of my career. She has been very supportive since the very first day. Together, we have crafted my UX/UI portfolio, she has provided me with strategies, and most importantly, she has been practical by given me tips and suggestions that I was able to put immediately in practice to get interviews. Another aspect that I appreciated is her flexibility and her constant availability via chat for any eventual questions that were not clear. I had to interrupt the mentoring for personal reasons, but I hope to be able to soon resume what we had started. Thank you Maria!
