I’m Maria, maneuvering across consumer, tech, heritage, and emerging brands, with a mission to pinpoint what’s next. I enjoy discovering people, product trends, and ideas early, going down research rabbit holes, from trend reports to social listening, spending time in communities, and following curiosity across spaces that don’t usually talk to each other. Interests include: Kaospilot & Hyper Island methodology, Community Design, Workplace/ Employer experience, Creative Residencies, & Kitesurfing
