Continual creativity opens horizons, sparks connections, and expands unimagined ideas into reality. And that’s exactly what I’m set out to do.

I’m a brand designer based in upstate New York, passionate about creating designs, illustrations, and animations that tell a story.

When I’m not busy bringing ideas to life, you can find me exploring the food scene in Rochester, sipping espressos with my husband, or entertaining my daughter. I also serve as Co-Design Chair of the American Advertising Federation of Greater Rochester.

I thrive on collaboration and connection. If you’re ready to create something special together, drop a line below.

"Maria proved to be an incredible collaborator"

Responsive, communicative, and an excellent listener. She quickly grasped project requirements and executed them with precision, understanding the deeper impact of the work beyond just aesthetics. Her ability to take a brief and transform it into something meaningful and effective was remarkable. She consistently delivered intentional, well-thought-out designs and presented them with clarity and professionalism.
