Independent UI/UX & Interaction Designer — Berlin
Design thatfeelsbefore it functions.
I'm Mara Voss. For nine years I've shaped products people open on purpose — banking apps, design systems, and interfaces for the home.
Selected work
Mara Voss — b.1992, Berlin
Good interfaces disappear.Great ones linger —in muscle memory, in mood,in the way a product earns trust.
I work end-to-end: research, flows, systems, motion, and the unglamorous details in between. Half craft, half diplomacy — shipping good design means bringing engineers and stakeholders along for the ride.
Previously at a fintech unicorn and two agencies you've heard of. Now independent, partnering directly with founders and product teams who care about the last 5%.

How I work
01
Discover
Stakeholder interviews, analytics archaeology, and honest questions about what the product is actually for.
02
Define
Flows, information architecture, and a north-star prototype the whole team can argue with.
03
Design
Systems-first UI: tokens, components, motion. Built to survive contact with real engineers.
04
Deliver
Annotated handoff, QA passes in the build, and follow-through until it ships — not until the file is done.

"Mara is the rare designer who treats engineering constraints as creative material. She made our hardest product decisions feel obvious."
