Hi, I’m Maria.

I create and implement strategic communications and user experiences that elevate organizations and enrich communities.

I'm a communications strategist and UX designer with a passion for creating impactful, intuitive digital experiences.

Video storytelling lets me blend data-driven strategy with authentic human connection. Whether I'm digitizing cherished family memories, highlighting our library volunteers' dedication, or collaborating with local teachers, I create content that reflects our diverse community while staying on trend.

Each project combines careful analysis with creative storytelling to ensure our message resonates with everyone – from kids to seniors.

Take a look at my full collection below.
