Currently leading end-to-end design at Mulligan Funding, where I help small business owners, partners, and internal teams. With over 8 years of design experience, my strengths lie in product strategy, design exploration, and cross-functional team collaboration.

As a designer with over 8 years of experience, I am dedicated to crafting seamless and captivating experiences that are both intuitive and visually appealing. I consider myself an imaginative and detail-oriented individual, fueled by a genuine passion for how human behavior is influenced by technology.

"Mauri is great at uncovering missing details and finding solutions to those gaps. He's also great at brainstorming and creating new improvements in the UI, asking the right questions, and challenging assumptions. He is meticulous and thorough in observation, and can keep track of multiple aspects at once."
Lucinda Slade
Prev. UX Lead, Mulligan Funding
"Mauri's ability to communicate effectively across all levels and functions within the business, coupled with his deep understanding of user needs, results in high-quality, user-centric experiences delivered at the speed of business. His unique blend of design expertise, user empathy, and dedication make him a truly invaluable asset to any UX team."
Kevin Fahey
Prev. CTO & COO, Mulligan Funding
"Mauri’s work vastly exceeded my expectations. The prototypes that he produced were extremely clean and well designed. His work resulted in other business unit owners saying 'I want my application to look like that.' Everyone who saw the demos of his prototypes was impressed all the way to the CEO level. I strongly recommend Mauri for his skills and work ethic and would gladly work with him again."
Steve Freshour
Prev. Head of Small Business Banking, Axos Bank
"Mauri is one of those rare designers who has both natural talent as well as a work ethic that I have never seen before in any other human being. He consistently puts the user first and he is incredibly thoughtful and pragmatic in his process. His high standards of excellence, holistic view of design and concise communication allow him to create usable products quickly, painlessly, and thoughtfully."
Emmy Roehr
Prev. Senior Designer, Axos Bank
"I'm based in Mexico and the distance was never a challenge to successfully work together. In one particular project, where I joined later I was amazed by the amount of business understanding he had in addition to his already proven skills in the UX/UI world. His contribution was always remarkable to the point that every business unit wanted to use his designs."
