Maria Moyles

With six years in experience design roles and a background in customer operations, I am a Senior CX / UX Designer focused on making complex systems and interactions simpler, more human, and easier through strategy, collaboration, and clarity.

About Me

I’m a Senior CX/UX Designer specialising in enterprise experience, strategy, and service design. I bring clarity to complex challenges through stakeholder alignment, cross-functional collaboration, and a hands-on approach. My experience spans in-house and consultancy roles across industries including telecommunications, financial services, health, dairy, and education in both public and private sectors. I’m passionate about designing with empathy, navigating constraints creatively, and delivering scalable outcomes for users and organisations.

How I work

- I thrive in cross-functional teams, prioritising early alignment with product owners, developers, designers, and stakeholders.


- I have a facilitative, people-focused approach: use co-design workshops, mapping sessions and structured feedback to create clarity.


- I communicate transparently: surface constraints, share early thinking and invite regular feedback to reduce ambiguity.


- I'm adaptable and flexible: lead through ambiguity, meet tight deadlines and happy to mentor less-experienced designers.


- I focus on momentum, obtaining shared understanding, outcomes and keeping user needs central.

What Drives Me

  • - I have a passion for making experiences clearer, more intuitive, and more human.


  • - I am drawn to complex or ambiguous problems where design brings structure and clarity.

  • - I value empathy with users, stakeholders, and technical constraints, using thoughtful tension to drive stronger outcomes.

  • - I’m committed to improving real-world experiences

Outside of Work

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me exploring new countries with my husband, nose-deep in a good novel, attempting to balance out my love of food with a workout, catching up with friends, or watching a movie – most likely a horror film.

I am from England but am lucky enough to have lived in Australia and New Zealand.
