Hi, I’m Maria — a freelance brand and web designer with over a decade of experience helping founders and creative teams build brands that feel intentional, thoughtful, and human.

I specialize in brand identity systems, custom Squarespace websites, and visual design that translates seamlessly across digital touchpoints. My work blends strategy, storytelling, and hand-crafted details to create brands that feel both elevated and personal.

I work independently and collaborate closely with clients and studios worldwide, integrating seamlessly into existing teams and workflows when needed.

Outside of design, you’ll usually find me chasing the perfect cup of coffee, planning my next travel destination, or rewatching Friends for the millionth time.
