Hi! I’m Maria M. Cortes
Born in 1994 in Alicante, Spain. Now based in Madrid. As a motion design enthusiast, graduated in Audiovisual Communication and Advertising and Master’s in Visual Effects. In june, 2023 will finish a Master’s degree in Brand Design at Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC).
I enjoy design of all kinds, specially when it comes to create recognizable identities. I believe that design has to be both based in objective criteria and have it’s own style.
I am very curious, so I aspire to stay this way and continually share my curiosity with others.
