About me¶
Hey! I’m Maria, designer, maker and engineer combining industrial design, mechanical development, electronics and hands-on fabrication. Experienced in both design-led and engineering-led environments, with a strong ability to bridge visual quality, technical feasibility, and manufacturing. Strong in concept sketching and visual communication, with practical experience taking ideas into physical form through CAD, CNC machining, 3D printing, electronics and prototype assembly
My background¶
For about four months, from April to July 2023, I worked as a Full-time Solar Engineer in Yerevan. I designed solar PV systems, considered tech factors, and evaluated performance.
But that’s not all. I’ve also tackled short design projects and currently, I’m rocking it as a graphic designer. Branding, logo design, printing – that’s what I do. I bring creative ideas to life, turning businesses into unforgettable brands.
