About Mara Savina Lantz

Content Design Manager at Pinterest

I'm a relatively self-taught content design leader and learned a lot of my skills on the job working as a jack of all trades in scrappy tech startups and as a consultant in an agency. I have experience working in diverse industries including SaaS, cybersecurity, real estate, technical apparel, and higher education. As a voracious learner, I'm obsessed with the pursuit of mastering new skills. On the weekends you can catch me cooking, playing board games and watching either quirky highbrow British game shows (Only Connect is my current fav) or deliciously trashy lowbrow reality shows (VPR will always have a special place in my heart). What can I say, I'm a woman of complexities.

I'm particularly interested in giving advice to women and BIPOC in the UX field who need to gain more confidence in their skills.

I'm also a mom to two littles, so I'm happy to chat about preparing for a mat leave, balancing work and life with young kids, etc.

Please note: content designers work on product teams as the arbiter of words and user comprehension. We're not marketers. I've been out of the marketing world long enough that I'm not a good fit for those interested in advice about social media, content marketing, etc.
