Hi, I'm Maria

For over 20 years, I’ve worked in government spaces focused on web applications, tech websites, and applying methods to improve the user experience—learning how people move, interact, and engage with information in real, functional ways.

Now, I want to bring that same depth of experience into a more creative, intentional space—helping small businesses and organizations build websites that are not only beautiful, but thoughtfully designed to work.

Because a good website isn’t just seen.
It’s felt. It’s understood. It guides.

THE CREATIVE MIND BEHIND MAR Y LUNA

Purple ocean waves crashing on a beach under a crescent moon and starry night sky.

Rooted in heritage. Guided by the moon.

“Mar y Luna” holds more than one meaning—it’s deeply personal, layered, and intentional.

It’s a quiet nod to my own name, and to Luna—my Cavalier King Charles.

It reflects my heritage, too.
Mar and Luna—the ocean and the moon—rooted in Spanish, carrying both culture and rhythm.

And somewhere in between, it holds what draws me in most:
the calm of ocean waves, the pull of something constant yet ever-moving,
and a quiet fascination with the sky—celestial, expansive, infinite.

There’s a balance in it all—
movement and stillness, structure and intuition, depth and light.

That balance is how I design.

THE MEANING BEHIND THE NAME

Luna the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel sits on a sandy beach with ocean waves in the background.

AND THEN THERE'S LUNA.

My Cavalier King Charles, constant companion, and quiet source of joy. Her name became part of Mar y Luna as a reminder that the things we create are often shaped by the things we love most.

Always close. Always part of what I create.

I don’t just design websites. I create experiences.

Every project is:

MY APPROACH

INTENTIONAL

Every detail has purpose. Nothing is random --everything supports your brand and your goals.

CLEAR

Beautiful design is only powerful when your message is easy to understand and connect with.

STRATEGIC

I blend creativity with strategy to build websites that not only look stunning --but work hard for you.

And most importantly— a process that feels personal, not overwhelming. I handle both the creative and technical sides, so you don’t have to piece it together yourself.
