ABOUT ME

Hi! I’m Maria, a publishing professional based in Toronto.

Not sure what that means? No worries.

I’m an interdisciplinary creative, passionate about clear and effective communication with a focus on linguistic and visual forms, including print and digital media. My specializations include writing and editing.

‘Industry-speak’ aside — I ensure that stories are received the way they’re intended to be.
