I’m your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today I’m thrilled to welcome the brilliant Webflow developer and mentor, Maria Karavá, to the Webflail Podcast. Maria is a powerhouse in the creative industry, known for her expertise in animation, WebGL, and immersive website experiences, all while championing accessibility and structured design.
Based in Greece, Maria is a mentor at Flux Academy, guiding budding Webflow designers and developers to success. Her journey is filled with exploration, having worked across roles like 3D generalist, pre-press designer, and motionographer. Maria’s versatility and passion for problem-solving shine through in her projects and mentorship style.
In this episode, we’ll delve into Maria’s failures, each a stepping stone to her thriving career. We’ll discuss:
- Tackling her sister’s never-ending e-commerce site.
- Realizing UI/UX wasn’t her path after a challenging job stint.
- Applying to Flux Academy before she was ready—and how it prepared her for success later.
Get ready for an insightful conversation packed with wisdom, laughter, and a little bit of Greek flair. Maria, welcome to Webflail!
