Hi, I’m Mariza!

I’m a design strategist based in Washington DC.

With my background in visual communication, I help the public sector, local artists, nonprofits, and small businesses increase the accessibility of their services and products to their target audience.

Off-the-clock, I’m either at the gym, rock-climbing (indoors!), or consuming productivity content on YouTube.
