Hi, I'm Maria — a freelance graphic designer, hand-lettering artist, and coffee enthusiast dedicated to helping bold, creative entrepreneurs build brands that feel like home.

From childhood doodles to crafting memorable brand identities, design has always been my way of seeing the world. After earning my BFA in Graphic Design from the University of Louisiana, I’ve spent the last decade helping over 50 businesses shine through custom branding, Squarespace websites, and intentional social media design.

Today, I run my studio full-time, partnering with creatives and freedom-seekers around the world. My work blends strategy with artistry — combining clean design, storytelling, and hand-lettered details to create brands that feel both elevated and deeply personal.

When I’m not designing, you can find me hunting down the perfect cup of coffee, dreaming up my next travel destination, or rewatching Friends for the millionth time.
