Creative director, copywriter, and author based in Connecticut.

Status: currently typing away at my desk, reading a novel, listening to a nonfiction audiobook, planning a social campaign, editing a website, building a brand platform, writing a horoscope, or laughing at one of my own jokes.


Intro

Hi, I’m Maria, a writer, creative director, and author. I have worked at both big and small agencies, in-house agencies, and at agencies of record; also for start-ups, at mid-sized small businesses, and in Fortune 10 organizations.

In addition, I’ve published three books (and one oracle/tarot deck) with Simon & Schuster - and my first book, The One Card Tarot Journal, is now a certified bestseller! I also run a biweekly horoscope column with Woman & Home magazine. My work has also appeared in Romper, Well+Good, The Buzz at Bumble, Fitbit, Keen, Yahoo! Life, MSN, and more. I have even gone viral on TikTok.
