About Maria Kruch

Design Broker at https://designbroker.me/

I’m Maria, Design broker and Head of UX Research Studio with 11 years of experience. I sell design and UX cotractors for a living, which means I look through dozens of portfolios and CVs on a daily basis on behalf of my design and UX clients.

I know: 🔸 What clients are looking for in today's design and UX talents. 🔸 What's the market like in terms of prices, salaries and how to stand out among competition.

You can learn from me: 🔸 How to get a better job offer as a design talent to earn more money. 🔸 Where to find clients as an independent contractor to earn even more money.

I am also a huge fan of UX and design management, so I'll gladly share the tales of a decade-long journey that includes me: as a Head of UX at Arrival, a London-based company producing electric vehicles and microfactories, where I led a team of 10 Senior Product Designers; as a Lead UX at Alter, second largest psychotherapy marketplace in Eastern Europe, where I grew marketplace revenue through data-driven design and UX decisions.
