Hi! It's Maria! I am an 18-year-old based in Nashville, Tennessee, with a passion for storytelling and creating. I have experience with Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Premiere Pro, Canva, and Final Cut Pro.
I have always had a passion for designing and storytelling. I've been involved in the arts since I was little, and through this, I grew a passion for storytelling, which led me to various outlets. I strived to display emotion and experience through theatre, dance, video production, and design. The passion to create became a central part of who I am and a motivation for everything I do. I believe that God has created every person beautifully in His image, each with their own individual story to tell. I longed to be a vessel where people could share their passions and experiences and trust that they would be done justice. This longing led me to my high school's Journalism program. I was able to highlight students and faculty members who often hid in the shadows and share their stories with the world. My love for creativity was honored through design, as I put photography with the written word to create a page. I then realized that my love of design could extend outside our yearbook, and I could use the medium I adored to help others share what they love and express themselves. As I continue to create, I also continue to learn and experience the joy of the Lord. I hope that by sharing my designs and my abilities with the world, it will get a taste of Jesus and his love for us. Honoring my Creator through my creations is the greatest gift I've ever known, and I cannot wait to share it with you!
