Hi there! I'm Marian Mena

A little bit about me...

I've always been drawn to two things: understanding people and creating things. I actually thought I would study design long before psychology ever crossed my mind. But when it was time to choose a career, I became fascinated by the idea of understanding how people think, feel, and behave.

That curiosity led me to a degree in Psychology and eventually to 7 years working as a clinical psychologist. I worked across individual and group therapy, crisis intervention, psychological assessment, case supervision, workshops, and psychoeducational content. My training in behavioral therapy and mindfulness taught me to look beyond behavior—to understand the context behind it, identify patterns, and turn complex experiences into actionable steps.

At the same time, I never really stopped designing. I have always enjoyed visual thinking, organizing information, and giving things structure and form. Eventually, I discovered UX and realized it brought together the parts of both worlds that I had always enjoyed most: understanding people, solving complex problems, and creating with intention.

After completing a Master's in UX/UI Design in Madrid, I'm now beginning this next chapter with a behavioral perspective, a strong curiosity for product, and a lot left to explore.

Feel free to reach out, and thanks for stopping by!
