Let’s create
something amazing!
Web, Graphic Design, Branding & Illustration
Hi! I’m María José—a designer and illustrator blending bold ideas with sharp execution.
With roots in Santiago, Chile, and a creative home in Ottawa, Canada. I work across branding, web, and motion to build design that means something. No fluff. Just thoughtful, eye-grabbing work.
Featured Work
Vibrant identity system for a student showcase celebrating creativity, tech, and design.
Web design for a sustainability-focused student Social Enterprise promoting circular economy practices.
Mural illustration visualizing the collaborative journey behind Algonquin College’s new SIS launch.
A flexible brand identity for a theater company combining performance, workshops, and team-building.
Branding
I craft bold, strategic visual identities that align with brand values and connect meaningfully with audiences—across print, digital, and motion.
Web Design
From wireframes to WordPress, I design and build clean, user-friendly websites that blend aesthetics with accessibility and responsive performance.
Illustration
Whether for storytelling, editorial, or murals, my illustrations bring concepts to life with personality, purpose, and a touch of play.
“Creativity is the wild mind and a disciplined eye.”
— Dorothy Parker
