Maria Walley

Introducing myself!

by•

Hi guys! My name is Maria -- co-founder and content queen of Creatium (launching Sept 28th).

Long-time lurker, first-time poster.

A little bit about me:

- Spent the last 4 years hanging out with engineers creating an app that makes it easy to build interactive learning experiences and videos that talk back, including video roleplays, coaches, games, and simulations
- mama of 2 boys (7&9), whose experience during the pandemic inspired what we built

- a spoiled wife of a product manager, who is obsessed with F1 (so naturally, I am too)
- Techstars alum (it's how I met one of my cofounders)
- LaGree addict and big reader

Looking forward to trying more products on here, and hearing your feedback on ours!!

Connect with me on LI -- tell me you're from product hunt, I'd love to hear from you!

Hi Maria,

That's a nice introduction. Some part of it had in me splits though (e.g. spoiled wife of a PM).

You said your product inspiration came from your kids' experience (and maybe even yours collectively). Would you like to share who your target audience is?

5 more days left I guess. A weekend launch needs a lot of push, but easy if you have strategized it meticulously. Wishing you the best for Creatium.

@ashok_nayakĀ Sorry for my slow response! I've honestly been heads down working on getting everything lined up for the launch date! Great question.... so our tool is really for anyone who wants to teach a lesson. Originally we focused on K12, but then it was clear that the workforce market was really hungry for this kind of content (and they have much more online trainings than kids do these days) -- so we're in both markets. But now that we're opening up on Product Hunt, I hope to be surprised by what it is used for!

I have 2 toddlers with a similar age gap.. hoping the short term pain pays off in a few years when they are besties haha.

Welcome aboard!

P.S As an aussie.. how good is Oscar Piastri šŸ˜‰

@andrew_uxpinĀ Thank you so much! And it DOES pay off... I promise you. But your best tool for surviving all of it is having a sense of humor. And sleep.

The real question is ... how proud of Oscar Piastri are you as an Aussie?! On a scale of 1-10.... is it a 10 or an 11? Because I'm proud, and my closest tie to Australia is my Australian brother-in-law.
