Maria Frangos

Head of Product Design

I am a product design leader with over 25 years experience. Working in an agile environment, I've grown and led teams and designed projects across a broad spectrum of digital platforms including mobile applications, cloud applications, and connected devices. I've also contributed to a number of open source initiatives. I am currently the Head of Product Design at 1VALET.

As a member of 1VALET's foundational team, I played a significant role in the company’s growth (from 17 to over 70 employees, and from 1 - 7 designers). In addition to overseeing the design of the platform, I contributed to 1VALET's IP (with 3 patents pending), helped define the product vision, and led creative and strategic initiatives that have resulted in winning key projects.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, lifting, playing music and running with my pup. I can also pull a mean espresso!
