Maria is a senior behavioural analyst at Canvas8. After completing her Master's degree in Social and Cultural Psychology, she delved into the world of research. Her experience ranges from behavioural science and design research to cultural insights. She loves asking questions, so naturally she specialised in qualitative research. In her free time, she likes to do all the usual things (from watching movies to hanging out with friends), plus playing ultimate frisbee and running long distance.
