Whether you need to polish your CV and portfolio, create case studies that reflect your skills, or figure out how to present yourself in interviews — I’m here to support you.
You don’t need big-name brands in your past to stand out. You just need a clear story, solid thinking, and the right strategy.
I’ve mentored many people coming from non-linear backgrounds: career changers, self-taught designers, or those with only personal or student projects. I know what’s hard in this journey — and how to make it easier.

If you’re in your first role — especially as a solo designer — I can help you level up, navigate team dynamics, and grow your confidence and skills.
🚀 Building a digital product?
I also support entrepreneurs and early-stage startups with UX audits and actionable feedback to improve product experience and business results.
👋 About me
I'm a Senior UX Designer from Italy with 7+ years of experience. I’ve worked on SaaS products in banking, real estate, risk management, and digital signage — mostly in the B2B world.
I also have agency experience, focused on UX, UI, and CRO. And for 4 years, I was a solo designer, so I truly understand how overwhelming it can feel, especially when you’re just starting out.
My background is in Psychology, and I hold a Master’s in Human-Computer Interaction. I stay active in the field through conferences, design events, and hackathons. I’ve been mentoring since 2022 on MentorCruise with consistently great feedback — and I’d love to support your growth, too.

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!

Maria is truly brilliant. She’s a master of design systems and an expert in Figma, knowing every nuance of the tool inside and out. Her approach to mentoring is incredibly thoughtful—she’s always thorough in her work and resourceful in every aspect, whether it’s flow charting, ideation, or problem-solving. Learning from her has been such a pleasure; she’s patient, insightful, and makes even the most complex concepts easy to grasp. I’ve learned so much from her, and I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with someone so talented and dedicated.
