Testimonials
"I have found Maria to be a wonderful asset in helping me to promote my business. She has found unifying themes for brochures, ads and business cards and presented them in a clear, creative and eye-catching way. She can take your ideas farther than you might have the time or talent for, and come up with great new ones."
—Jenny Tumas, Owner, Marigold Yoga
"As usual, you executed your tasks in a highly professional manner, and your work is truly top quality. Your design skills are great, and last year’s materials were at an all time high level. Your people skills are another great asset to the Festival, and you often give me great insights in this area."

"What can I tell you about her performance? First, she knows the technical side—and the technique side—of public relations and of media relationships. You can give her a media assignment, and walk away in complete confidence that it will be done, done well, and done on time. She also is competent in the nuts and bolts of creating media releases, publicity, and brochure/magazine layout. She writes with clarity and brevity so the point gets across to the audience. On the personal side, she’s smart as a tack; has wonderful imagination and creativity; abundant initiative to do the right thing without being asked (otherwise known as the ability to work independently without close supervision); and exceptional people skills. She works well in a team environment, because she knows how to listen, how to express her opinion, and how to execute policy decisions once made. Put differently, she’s a good, supportive, colleague. She is a person who quickly establishes rapport with different kinds of people and with different kinds of groups. She is articulate. She is perceptive about the needs and the interests of the different audiences that she deals with. I’ve watched her in action and marvel at her skillfulness. Maria is hardworking. She goes the extra mile to get the job done. Not because anyone has asked her to. Not because anyone has told her to. Instead it is because of her strong sense of responsibility to get the task done right."
