Hi I'm Maria! I am a theatre and voiceover actor, instructional designer, and presentation skills coach. Before building a career as an instructional designer and facilitator, I trained to be an actor. Both the arts and education allow me to pursue her goal to foster intercommunication, mutual understanding, and respect by telling people’s stories; letting them be recognized, heard, understood, and appreciated. My passion is creating inclusive, fun, and impactful learning experiences. As an instructor and designer, my focus is on empowerment, based on the belief that people of all skill levels can find success – no matter what their role or level of tech-savvy might be. After serving as an in-house instructional designer and facilitator for multiple companies, she built her own consulting practice to build powerful learning experiences for organizations and empower people to build their presentation and facilitation skills.

What I love to bring to my work are the two sides of my career - as an artist and instructional designer. I've spent over a decade building working in tech and over two decades as a performer. The most surprising thing about my career has been how powerful integrating these two parts of myself has been for my development, success, and competitive edge. I love helping my clients find this internal unity as well.

I am a seasoned creative with over 10 years of experience in digital design, social media, print design, and branding. I have a background in 360º branding, but for the last few years I have focused on digital design in the fashion and beauty industry. I am always up for a good design challenge and I have experience on every step of the design process from start to finish. To me, the details are important as well as the big picture and I am not afraid to get resourceful when it comes to design problem-solving. I absolutely love collaborating with other creatives, as well as bouncing off ideas from other teams outside of the creative realm—all perspectives are crucial! I believe that in order for a brand have a successful identity, the branding must be backed up by a strong strategy.

Art Director & Graphic Designer Elevating Beauty Brands

I have dabbled here and there in the freelance world but never fully went all-in until now! Over the course of my career, I worked as a graphic designer for large digital and social media agencies such as VaynerMedia and 24/7 Laundry Service; I also worked as an in-house designer for a variety of beauty and fashion brands such as Macy's, L'Oreal, and The Sak. In my previous full-time role, I was an art director for a clean skincare company called Voesh New York. There, I juggled multiple design projects as well as be a key player in leading the brand's overall look. After having my son, I decided that I wanted to get back into the freelance world to help ignite my creative spark!

Part of what keeps me so engaged in this career is the never-ending opportunity to gain and polish new skills. I'm eager to deliver that final product that incorporates a little more than the client expects from me. I try to regularly engage in tutorials and exercises that challenge my skillset and make me a more well-rounded creative.

I’m an art director, designer, and content creator based in Texas. I love the challenge that creativity brings as I’m constantly inspired to think, create, and design in different ways that are fun, impactful, and innovative. I graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor in Visual Communication. For the moments I feel stagnant and need to relieve stress, I punch bags and pretend I’m Mike Tyson, explore new coffee shops, and enjoy creating design &amp; art related content on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/DenaNguyen" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/denanguyencom/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@denanguyencom" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a>. It’s another outlet for me to express myself, document my creative journey, and bring content that I hope is helpful, inspiring, and enjoyable for others.
