Meet the workshop facilitator

Maria Carla Sarrecchia is a Service Designer Lead working currently at Tata Consultancy Services

​Maria is a Service Design practitioner with experience leading projects in complex organisations, where she helps teams clarify problems, structure services and make decisions grounded in real user needs. With a background in marketing and digital consulting, she brings a strong understanding of communication, behaviour and value creation into cross-functional design work.

Maria works at the intersection of systems, behaviours and operations, with a focus on reducing friction, improving workflows and enabling better collaboration across functions. Maria is particularly interested in how design principles apply beyond the workplace, to the routines, environments and invisible workloads that shape everyday life, because the ability to navigate complexity is both a professional and a human skill.

She brings structure, clarity and a systems perspective to teams and organisations that want to design more intentionally and lead with understanding.
