Maria Young
Accessibility, Developer
Pronouns: she/her
Front-end developer and certified web accessibility specialist, support-worker, project manager, covert designer – Maria has fingers in all the pies. She loves working and making friends with our clients, and knows most of their sites inside out.
Life before Agile Collective
Maria left Edinburgh College of Art with a degree in Visual Communication and no idea what to do with her life. She meandered through jobs as a photographer, cook, graphic designer, she dabbled in metaphysics and care work. When she finally found her way to Agile Collective’s door she saw an opportunity to use all of those skills.
Since then she’s found the answers to the questions she didn't know she had: open source, co-operation, accessibility.
And cycling.
When Maria’s not at work
Maria grows flowers, fruit and vegetables in a market-garden in the Scottish Borders. In the summer you can find her at the local market running a community veg stall.
She keeps bees, ducks and cats, they in turn keep her on her toes with their antics.
