about me
Hello!
My name is Paul Mariani and I am a product designer in Orange County, California. I attended San Diego State University, where I earned a degree in Graphic Design, as well as, Cal State University, Fullerton for a UX and Customer-Centered Design certificate. Since graduating, I have worked on small, fast paced design teams for both large corporations and small startups.
I’m a self-motivated, fast problem solving creative that enjoys collaborating in a team, but also likes to work independently. As a multi-talented and moldable designer, I love to challenge myself by taking on tough new tasks. This curiosity to always learn has allowed me to develop and become strong in many design applications.
I am currently employed full time as an in-house Senior Graphic Designer and I still do freelance UX/UI work in my spare time. Feel free to contact me to let me know how I can help you on your next project!

 | UI DesignTaking a simple whiteboard sketch and creating a beautiful interface is one of my strong points. Since I have the technical background from graphic design, I am able to find the right solutions to design elegant and aesthetically appropriate interfaces to any application. |
 | UX DesignGreat design must have perfect pixels, but more importantly the application must be functional. Taking a user-centered approach, I find that solving complex problems is not only rewarding but something I am passionate about. |
 | Brand DevelopmentTrust is built with consistency. Implementing and maintaining a consistent brand is a huge factor in the success of a company. I am lucky enough to have been apart of multiple company brand redesigns from beginning to end. |
 | Product DevelopmentThere's a lot more to designing a great application than colors and typography. No matter what stage the product is at, I have the knowledge and experience to jump in to provide empathetic solutions to a user's problems. |
