About me:
Maria Thomas
Life happened and I had to leave the blogging scene for a day job. I've been able to dig in and develop my graphic design & communications skills there and I'm so thankful to continue to grow and learn and tackle new challenges.
I love writing, but along the way, discovered my passion was creating graphics and web design even more.
About 10 years ago, I started blogging. That's where this all begins.
I have a full time communications job in ministry which I LOVE and wear many hats for, but my business allows me to focus on a few of my favorite things! I love creating logos and graphics, helping turn ideas into tangible printed goods, and managing social media and websites for small business owners. If you're running your business and don't have the capacity to learn yet another blessed thing, I'm here to help...but I'm dyslexic, so don't ask me to keep your books (even though I have a degree in accounting).
With over 10 years of experience in blogging, web design, merch creation, small and large scale print jobs, and social media management, I'm the proud owner of an expansive skill set. I'm married to a small business owner (my husband is a realtor) so I've learned through helping him, the struggles of small business owners who are trying to run a successful business, keep the books, make the reels, serve their clients and 1,073 other things.
The rest of the story....
Maintaining a brand takes a lot of time. You need logos, social media content, SEO, website updates, email templates, business cards and an awesome sweatshirt to promote your amazing company. And you probably need help with some (or all) of those things. I can help you!
I'm a pro at supporting brands with digital and print needs.
Shew. That's a relief, right?
I know as a small business owner you have at least 27 plates spinning right now and things may be looking a little wobbly, to say the least. I'll come alongside you and take that piece of the workload that is stressing you out...whether you need help with branding, managing your social media, your website needs a glow up, or you're looking to print something as simple as business cards.
Your job is about to get a whole lot easier.
In order to help you, I may ask lots of questions to get to know about you, your brand, what you do, what you love, and your big WHY. I love stories and your story helps shape your brand AND your business. I want to know how to support you best!
We're going to chat about all your ideas and big plans.

...and many times marketing/design concepts, and their ultimate execution, fall by the wayside. Maria stepped in and provided valuable insight into what was a possible marketing strategy for certain events that we wanted to sponsor as a business. Without prompting, she took our current logos/ marketing materials and presented us options that we would have never developed on our own. I can’t thank Maria enough for spending the time to understand our needs, respect our budget, yet produce a great product. We look forward to working with her on additional projects in the future.
As a business owner, you need to know your own strengths...
