Mariela Magallon
Full Stack Web Developer / Creative Strategist

My journey began with a degree in Nutrition and Food Science, which I earned while working as an Analyst for the Ministry of Finances. In this role, I analyzed and approved expenses for the Public Health Budget and other government entities a position that not only funded my education but also gave me valuable experience in health administration.

After graduating, I interned as a clinical Nutritionist at a public hospital. It was during this time that I discovered my passion for technology. I collaborated with friends launching a startup focused on interactive marketing activations for major brands like Sony Music, Burger King, and Pepsico. I was given the chance to code websites and design interfaces for these projects, I found myself captivated by the awe this interactive technology activations created on people.

Determined to pursue this newfound passion, I moved to the USA and embarked on a career in technology. My first role as a web developer for the Shopify based e commerce business MyIntent Project allowed me to hone my skills. After over a year with the company, I decided to forge my own path by founding Tinkering Designs.

At Tinkering Designs, is where my entrepreneurial spirit, adaptability, and passion for technology and creativity merge to help entrepreneurs launch and grow consumer goods brands. I specialize in industries like beauty, vitamins, food, self care, and wine, providing not only technical expertise but also innovative ideas to engage audiences.

Guided by my principles of fostering long term partnerships and my values of innovation, ethical responsibility, and education, I continue to thrive in my mission to deliver impactful solutions.
