About Marian Cozma
Senior UX Manager at HSBC
Hi, I'm Marian. I'm originally from Romania, but I've lived in the UK, moving from city to city with my family for the past 11 years.
My journey began after I graduated from IT Engineering University in Romania and started my career as a Front-end engineer. It wasn't long before I discovered the profound impact design can have on people. Driven by curiosity, I delved into self-learning and gradually transitioned into the design world.
As I honed my skills, I began working as a Digital Designer for small and medium-sized companies. Over time, my passion and expertise grew, leading me to embrace an entire career in design.
Today, with a decade of experience as a lead product designer, I've led transformative design projects across the finance and banking, insurance, entertainment, telecommunications, tech, and commerce sectors.
My work has spurred growth for Fortune 500 companies and Tier 1 banks worldwide. By employing collaborative strategies and crafting innovative designs, I align user needs with business objectives to deliver solutions that truly make an impact.
What can I help you with? Below is a list of topics I love sharing from my experience:
