I have worked, managed, directed and instructed across full stack JS, design and product management for 11 years. Javascript tech is my grime, I have an eye for design. I also love learning languages - I speak English, French, Spanish and Swedish.
I’m looking for the next challenge after closing my digital agency. We earnt nearly $1m over two years with a team of 10 and over 40 clients. Mayte solved customer experience problems using emerging technology - think web & native apps, voice, serverless, VR/AR and design thinking. Before delving into agency land, I worked in the startup world. Before that, I wrote a book - How to be a Rockstar WordPress Designer - with Envato at age 14.
Want to hear an interesting story? Ask my why we closed our agency.
