MEET THE FOUNDER
Our foundation
More than ten years of experience architecting complete brand ecosystems for businesses ready to make their mark.
From initial brand strategy to digital presence to market activation, I've guided companies through the full journey of bringing their vision to life. As a marketing, design, and business development professional, I understand that exceptional results require more than beautiful design—they demand a strategic foundation.
My approach is deliberately holistic: we begin by uncovering your brand's authentic story and positioning, then translate that into a digital experience that converts, and finally deploy marketing strategies that amplify your message where it matters most. This isn't about isolated deliverables—it's about creating a seamless brand journey where every touchpoint reinforces the last.
In the $9 trillion global wellness and beauty industry, standing out requires more than aesthetic appeal; it demands strategic positioning that speaks directly to your audience's deepest desires and needs.
We dive deep into what makes your business truly unique, uncovering the authentic story that sets you apart. Through comprehensive market analysis and competitor research, we identify white space opportunities and craft positioning strategies that align your vision with untapped market potential.
Below is where some of our clients have been featured:

If you want to LOVE the branding for your business, look no further.
My experience working with Maria was amazing, to say the least! I was very happy with the results of a poster I needed to make for my small business. Maria provided me with a few different colorways and designs. She also made sure I was 100% satisfied with the final product. I look forward to working with ‘Colusi Creative’ again soon.

“The best DECISION WE EVER made!”
She made the whole experience from beginning to end enjoyable and stress-free. Maria is a true professional as well as a true artist, and it’s rare to find someone that embodies both of those qualities, and I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone that asks.”
