Hi there! I’m Maria Paz, a designer based in Bellingham, WA, inspired by my Mexican roots and the beauty of the PNW. I’d be a great fit for the Marketing Project Coordinator job. I’ve got a lot of experience in graphic and web design, project management, and user experience. At BB Design and Photography, I handled many projects, ensuring they were done well and didn’t go over budget. At Sesame Communications, I learned to juggle multiple projects and work well with different teams. I love working with virtual, augmented, and mixed reality and anything that involves a good narrative! I’m excited about the chance to bring my creative and technical skills to your team and help make your marketing campaigns successful.
