Hi! It's Maria! I am a college student based in Nashville, Tennessee (Music Business major and Design Communications minor), 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 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. Attending Belmont University, I have been able to combine my adoration and appreciation for music and my design experience to experience both on a deeper level. I hope my work reflects not just my hard work and dedication, but my genuine passion and belief in the power of creativity.
