HI I'M MARIAH!
I'm so happy you are here and exploring my website. I'm sure youre probably asking yourself "WHO IS THIS GIRL" being as you stumbled upon my about me page. Well I would love to tell you!
I am a 29 year old gal based out of rainy Seattle, Washington. I have been practicing design since I was 19 years old, but found my love for brand and web design at the age of 24. Over the years, I have learned a lot about myself, my design style, and what it takes to make it in the design world. This has always been my dream profession and it makes me so excited to be pursuing it.
While this is my dream job, I do have a regular 9-5 job where I work as a creative coordinator. The hustle never stops! My BIG dream would be to someday make this (Moonlight Design) my full time gig. Now that I am done with the whole Reality TV show introduction... I would love to tell you how I do things around here!
When it comes to designing your dream brand and website, it's ALL about collaboration. While I am the designer, we are designing for YOUR brand and I want it to be everything you have ever wanted in a design.
My goal with every project is to make sure you leave the project saying "she absolutely hit the nail on the head, and I saw my dreams come to life on my computer screen." But I can only get there when I am in full collaboration mode with you!
Well what does that mean exactly? That means, we will have multiple calls going over any designs I have completed. I have all of my clients create mood boards of their favorite websites and brand designs. I also make sure to ask as many questions as I possibly can to make sure I truly understand who YOU are and how you want your brand portrayed.
Moonlight Design Studio exists to serve the girls, THE GUYS, the theys, and the gays. We are a 100% inclusive design studio.
No matter the walk of life you're on, you are welcomed here.
I love designing for others. It's why I stepped into this profession in the first place. But what I love most is the ability to make people feel seen, feel loved, and feel like their business truly matters.
Women-owned businesses have faced adversity for far too long. Not only women-owned businesses, but LGBTQIA+ owned businesses and minority-owned businesses too. I believe every business deserves branding that tells their story and a website to match, no matter the color of their skin, who they love, or how they identify or where they come from.
I stand firmly with immigrant communities and all those whose safety and belonging are under threat. My work will always be a space of welcome, protection, and dignity for everyone.
This is not a neutral space. I design with intention, and my intention is rooted in love, for my clients, for their communities, and for a world where every person is treated with humanity.
Seeing a client light up when they see their brand for the first time
