Clients: Maria Ruiz and Laura Pagliario
Platforms: Apple, Spotify, Google Podcast, Stitcher.
“We are over the flippin' moon with our new cover art! We had a crush on María's artwork for a while, so it was no question that we would reach out to her to create our podcast cover art. She was so responsive and had excellent attention to detail all along the way. Our cover art with the other icons she created for us are all so beautiful and truly better than what we envisioned! Our branding now feels cohesive and we now have a stronger visual voice with María's designs. We will be coming back to her again and again for any future illustration projects we might have for our merch! María has exceptional talent and skill, and is overall a wonderful person to work with. We highly recommend her for anyone's illustration and design needs. Two thumbs way up from the both of us!”

Closet Studio Branding and Podcasts
Project: Logo Design and Podcast Cover Artworks for Ghoul Disclosure and Must Be In Want.
Clients: Amanda Dixon, Emma Harvey & Adam Dixon
"We could not recommend working with Maria enough for any of your artwork needs! She is the most patient and kind person to work with and is also an incredibly talented artist. We had already purchased a few items from her etsy shop and fell in love with her work, so we were thrilled when she opened up commissions. This led to her creating some amazing work for us that perfectly lined up with what we wanted not only to convey for our new company and our podcasts, but also went above and beyond what we would've come up with on our own! She took the concepts and ideas we gave her and translated those into final products that are so fun, colorful, and lovely - exactly what we wanted and exactly what you can expect from her if you commission anything from her! We will definitely be coming back for any future commission needs!"

Clients: Courtney Randi and Shaun Duffy
Platforms: Apple, Spotify, Google Podcast, Stitcher.
“Maria is not just an artist, she is a visionary. We presented her with a cool idea to memorialize our podcast mission in ink, and she came back to us with a masterpiece. We are completely in awe of and in love with how Maria drew us. She was so true to our energy and the themes we wanted to present as part of who we are as people and as podcasters. Maria even included my beloved dog in our Podcast image, which made it even more perfect. We are so incredibly happy with how Maria portrayed us, the color scheme, the attention to detail and the final product, it’s nothing short of flawless. Maria was extremely responsive and showed her interest in the piece intently by giving us constant updates and letting us share in the creation of the piece. The magick she poured into this piece is seen and felt, and matches the magick she lends to each interaction with her customers, making us feel heard and helping our vision come to life. Maria is endlessly talented, tackling themes of all different scale and importance, and we are confidant she can put pen to paper and make anything happen. We love you, Maria, and we are endlessly grateful for your work. Thank you for making our vision real, we will absolutely be back for more.”
