Hello!
I’m Maria. Interior designer. Marketer. Product developer. Content creator. Social strategist. Boy mom. And PNW native.
My career began in interior design—residential and then commercial. If I’m honest, my dream was to design Nordstrom stores. (Full admission to being a Nordies girl at heart). It was an incredible stint, and landed me some of the best friends a girl could ask for. From there, I transitioned into product marketing, and quickly realized my love for marketing and all things graphic. I went back to school and switched gears to marketing for an incredible consulting firm. The bar was raised.
Fast forward a few years and we were blessed with twin baby boys. {long pause}
After taking time to be home as a mama, I needed a creative outlet. And thus, P2 Creative was born. As a marketing consultant, I have the privilege of helping small business owners, realtors, and designers managing their digital presence—increasing impact and producing results.
I thrive on the possible, bringing brands and spaces to life. Creative, organized, and motivated, I’m a self-starter who thrives both independently and collaboratively.
My experience spans B2B and B2C across a multitude of industries. The common thread? An impeccable eye for design, creative mind, the ability to think outside the box (while still playing by the rules), strong work ethic, and passion for bringing ideas to life.
On a personal note, I live north of Seattle with my husband and twin 8-year-old boys. Life is busy and beautiful. We love spending time with friends & family, kids’ sports, and traveling.
