Hi, I’m Maria.

Welcome! I am a Colombian raised in Miami, studying design in Madrid. I’m energetic, curious, and constantly searching for something new to do, to see, to learn, to experience. I firmly believe in pushing myself out of my comfort zone, and have been putting that to practice for the last several years. As a result, I’ve had amazing experiences and have come across more ways of being and creating than I could have imagined. And I know there are still so many more to discover!

I love making and creating, and enjoy finding inspiration everywhere. I’ve developed a passion for photography, both for capturing amazing moments and for really observing the world around me at a different rhythm. Now in my third year of design, I’ve learned and practiced different disciplines within design, and have really fallen for UX/UI and branding. I worked on several projects that required levels of empathy I had never practiced before, allowing me to understand and prioritize the needs of people very different from me. I thoroughly enjoyed that process, and I’m looking for opportunities to learn and practice this more.
