Hola!
I’m Maria, the creative chica behind Chica Creative. I am a designer, mother, fine artist, digital illustrator, crafter, nature lover and pie enthusiast!
With nearly 20 years of professional design experience, I have had the privilege of shaping brands for a spectrum of clients from scrappy start ups and small businesses to nonprofits, main streets, and global change makers.
Chica Creative is built on the belief that design can spark change. Every project is a collaboration with our clients to craft unique brand experiences that emotionally connect with their ideal audience. The approach is always thoughtful, strategic and artistic.
The result? Brands and campaigns that continue to thrive—fueling recognition, growth, and impact within communities.
Designs that give back
Committed to using art and design to inspire and activate others for a positive, lasting impact in our community.
