Philosophy

Interactivity is key to professional development.

Early in her career, Maria worked in corporate finance, translating large-scale executive projects into spreadsheets and graphical representations to measure departmental performance, identify trends, and predict future values. Executives want quick and accurate results. This experience taught her the values of understanding the vision being presented and turning it into the desired results.

After obtaining her Computer Information Systems degree and Web Development certification, Maria went on to work in several corporate environments where she built an impressive technical portfolio.

My business is special. Is it unique?

Maria’s passion shines through her work, wherever she is. One day, while working in-house for a media company, the department manager decided to give the same assignment to both Maria and a co-worker: Translate a static .psd file into a live web page. Maria and her colleague both published the project on their respective websites. Surprised, their manager asked: “Why do these same projects look so different?” The department editor said to the manager, “Because Maria does it with LOVE!”

This is the core value of all Maria’s work. Love.
