DESIGN PORTFOLIO

My name is Maria Gayoso and I am a highly motivated and passionate designer currently in my last semester of Industrial Design at QUT. I recognise the value and impact that design can have on people and the natural world, and so I am conscious of my responsibility to develop sustainable, viable, and human-centred solutions to the complex problems facing the planet.

On this website you will find a diverse range of design projects including product design, system design, persuasive marketing campaigns, graphic design and app design solutions in response to a variety of social, technical and complex problems. Each project has been selected to highlight my skills, attributes and strengths as an emerging designer.

Thank you for your time, enjoy!
