Walk into Maria's office and you're instantly confronted by a spider... a giant inflatable black widow. Is it there to represent her mastery of creative directing Web projects? Yes! We hope it means nothing more.

Maria uses over 20 years of creative, artistic and project management experience to sustain the entire creative process. She develops and directs multi-media campaigns. And puts together powerful, effective materials—both traditional and on the Internet.

After graduating from the University of Arizona, she honed her graphic talents at America West Airlines and RightFAX (one of those fast-paced software developers before they were bought out. You know—the same old story.) before coming to LP&G in 1995.

Ask Maria for her recipe for Killer Mint Brownies.
