Hi! My name is Maria! I’m a designer working remotely in East Michigan. My personal branding is based off my belief that design is about more than making something look pretty. Design is about solving problems. Faced with a new project, I begin with design research and understanding, with a human-centered approach. Adding my own perspective to a problem allows me to solve it in my own unique way.
