hello!

I’m Maria, a graphic designer seeking creative expression + impactful problem solving based in Denver, CO.

I strongly believe in the power of visuals—whether it be large-scale problem solving or magnifying beauty through precision and detail. With a BFA in Digital Design from University of Colorado Denver, experience as lead graphic designer at Darling Society, and my current role as a brand designer at Havenly Brands, I’ve developed a deep love for editorial, brand, and promotional design within the fashion, home, and design industries. Throughout my design journey, I’ve learned the value of creating work rooted in passion, intention, and storytelling. I hope to bring that same excitement and thoughtful creativity to every client, collaborator, and friend I meet along the way!
