“I recently had the pleasure of connecting with Maria, and, although brief, our interaction has been nothing short of inspiring. Maria's approach is solution-oriented, and her curiosity and compelling insights have a revitalising influence. She possesses an abundance of creativity, coupled with a profound understanding of how to foster real creative collaboration. Maria's extensive experience in the realms of creativity and business has provided her the ability to help me explore opportunities and invite new perspectives that align with the life I am in pursuit of creating. In our interaction, she provided guidance that helped me specify, understand, and visualise my creative goals. I look forward to a further conversation in the future!”
