Mariana has a degree in Ergonomics from Faculdade de Motricidade Humana da Universidade de Lisboa and, currently, is a second-year student of the Interaction Design Masters.

As one of Mariana's most significant interests is related to the UX / UI areas, to develop her Final Master's Project, Mariana is doing an internship at a UX / UI design and software development company. Given the problem proposed by the company, the purpose of the project to be developed is based on the UX audit of the company's website.

Taking into account the knowledge related to the user experience and exploring different methodologies, mainly, the methodology adopted by the company - Product Design Process - the main objective of the audit is to increase website traffic and, consequently, increase the number of applications, requests for projects and newsletter subscriptions.

In this way, the idea is to apply the knowledge acquired throughout the Master’s in a real context.
