Hi, I'm Maija. ❤︎

Hi, I'm Maija. ❤︎

I'm a designer, marketer, and creative with a cognitive scientist's brain and a performer's heart. I study Cognitive Science, Human-Computer Interaction, and Digital Design at Northwestern. Currently, I'm at the Department of Growth as an AI Fellow, exploring how AI can transform marketing.

When I'm not in Figma, I'm probably:

  • Rehearsing for my next performance

  • Going down a Pinterest rabbit hole

  • Obsessing over good type and color

  • Finding the best coffee in whatever city I'm in

Let's connect! I'd love to chat about whatever you're curious about. Feel free to reach me at maijaboelkins2027@u.northwestern.edu or via LinkedIn.
