Hey, I’m Maria.
{Website update in progress} I’m a trilingual content designer with 10+ years of experience across Expedia, Microsoft, Lowe’s, and 1,000+ e-commerce clients.
What stakeholders are saying
"It has been great having Maria join the team. Despite being thrown into a project that was already well underway and has many moving parts, she quickly grasped its intricacies and key details. She has consistently been active in meetings, asking questions, making decisions and has produced high quality work.”
“Initially, another team had developed content for this project that fell short of Expedia Group standards; however, Maria’s contributions have definitely elevated on the previous work done."
Ajay, Product Manager at Expedia
"Maria thank you for diving in to help Identity with our content for transactional communications that go to the user at the Expedia Group level as opposed to one type of persona. Your willingness to dive in and tackle the nuances of our Identity Transactional comms and to help with new comms really unblocked the launch of Media Solutions and Expedia Partner Central on Identity with your quick and thorough response.”
“These comms are a major part of the experience for our users so the difference you made is really important! This embodies the Include Consciously value, helping us get to a great outcome for our users. I hope we get to continue working together as there is much more to come for emerging security communications! Keep doing what you’re doing!”
Kellie, Director of Product Management, Payments at Expedia
“Maria, thank you for all the support with the Vrbo Payments project. You have helped us “go get what is next” by proactively taking action, digging into the user flows and error messaging. In all my interactions, you “choose fearlessly” to think about the partner and what experiences would be best for them.”
“You consciously include getting feedback from all parties and are open to providing options based on the technical considerations of engineering. I especially appreciate you digging in on the error messaging and really helping bring clarity to how the complexity could be simplified into a digestible view for our partners.”
William, Product Manager at Expedia
"I had the pleasure of working with you on the email template for account-locking events. Your review of the suggested content and your thoughtful enhancements showcased your expertise in creating user-centric and best-practice-driven email notifications. This approach highlights your commitment to deliver impactful solutions for our customers while forcing simplicity.”
”Maria, your promptness and responsiveness are commendable. You effectively balance urgency with quality, prioritizing delivery in iterations to keep progress moving while leaving room for iterative improvements in subsequent phases. Your approach ensures efficiency and supports seamless delivery.”
Virendra, Senior Product Manager, Identity Protection at Expedia
"From the first conversation we had, I noticed a true sense of curiosity from you where you were asking a lot of really good questions which is super important to really understand the complex Travel Agent Affiliate Program (TAAP) space.”
“I’ve also seen you go to Content peer review to discuss some of the work we’re doing together and I think that’s super important to get feedback from others so keep it up! You’re also always super nice and have a positive energy which is great to have.”
Juliana, User Experience Designer at Expedia

First things first, don't be nervous. We'll start with a free consultation to determine your design needs (and if we'll make great collaborators).

Pricing is based on both the project's scope and your desired timeline. (I promise fair rates and will always require your approval before we begin).
