I'M MARA VEGA
FREELANCE PIXEL · BRAND · WEB

I've been designing on the internet since I lost my first Game Boy in 2003. Independent since 2019.

Half designer, half front-end, full-time arcade enthusiast. Based in Lisbon & mostly online.

I work with founders and small teams who want weird, useful, fast — usually in that order.
