I am a full-time independent publication designer and typesetter with over 10 years of digital and print publishing experience. I’m currently based in Dallas, Texas, but I work with clients from across the United States and several other countries. 
I specialize in implementing complex interior layout designs for projects like workbooks, annual reports, and catalogs. I also enjoy typesetting fiction and non-fiction books for indie authors and small publishers. I firmly believe that self-published books can and should have the same quality and professional presentation as books from major publishers! If you’re new to self-publishing, I can help guide you through the process of getting your book printed through services like Amazon KDP and IngramSpark.
Communication and availability are top priorities for me. I have experience working on highly collaborative projects that require rapid turnaround times and back-and-forth communication. Working with me, you can expect regular updates on my progress and fast responses. 
"I highly recommend Maria. She’s helped us with the design, layout and edits for several InDesign reports and I look forward to working with her again. She’s a great communicator and very accurate and detail oriented. She’s proactive when questions arise and has been willing to work with us on some quick turnarounds — delivering quality work under tight deadlines.” —Upwork Client
