Mariana took extra time at NOS to teach autolayout to her colleagues without expecting anything back even though it was not part of her tasks. I can proudly say that thanks to her and her investment not only made me a better product designer but also benefited the company by deliver faster and more efficiently. Mariana is so far one of the best skilled designers I've met and is always happy to share her knowledge with others.
