A Marketing Changemaker
Meet Maria…
In 2012, I got my first “taste” of entrepreneurship in the kitchen where I spent over 5 years building my sister’s food businesses. I wore every hat, from operations to sales and marketing, often all at once. In those intense, chaotic moments, all the roles overlapped and the only thing that mattered was having the drive to succeed.
No formal strategies or marketing plans, just a deep-seated commitment to serve and deliver the best. With those intentions alone, we were able to achieve great success.
As the business grew from 1 to 4 entities, we were pulled in countless directions. While grateful for the rapid growth, it also became our biggest challenge. The vision that once guided us blurred with all the little details and expanding demands. Initial success (A to B) is inevitable with passion and skill, but advancing from B to C and beyond requires consistent visionary leadership. To achieve bigger things, you must think bigger, and move like a leader.
As I transitioned into marketing for small businesses, I saw the same potential pitfalls, only this time, I had already learned the lessons of touching a hot stove. Having the spaciousness and focus in marketing allowed me to really hone in on its powers. I fell in love with its ability to influence change and utilize business as a force for good. I carried the lessons from my kitchen days with me, realizing that the core principles were the same: it all boiled down to intention. Thinking, moving, acting with intention—these were my guiding mantras.
When I opened my business in April of 2022, it became my signature. You can have the most sophisticated strategy, but without clear intentions and actions, to support it, it's like navigating without GPS. You can go fast and get nowhere quickly.
I’ve since been obsessed with vision, connecting the dots, capturing the essence, and forging meaningful connections that build long, lasting loyalty. Leading with purpose is not just a strategy; it’s the catalyst and every business has the power to drive a meaningful change. Marketing intentionally is the avenue for positive impact and growth will always consequently follow. It’s a theory that has yet to fail me.
As a marketing changemaker, I am on a mission to make marketing more intentional. I envision a future where businesses lead with purpose, passion, and profound impact. Together, we can bring your vision to life and become powerful agents of change for a brighter world.
Passionate about all things business and marketing, I’m a lifelong learner obsessed with personal development and mindset work. I was born in the Philippines but I grew up in the PNW. I live for fun, mountain and water adventures, I love meeting the early sunrise & chasing to catch the beautiful sunset, and I’m a sweets and coffee-loving, mama to my 13-year-old daughter. She is my pride and joy, my greatest teacher and love of my life.
As a spirituality enthusiast, I'm endlessly curious about the true meaning of life and our purpose here. You’ll often hear about my affinity with astrology (Cancer sun, Libra moon, Sag rising for my Astro junkies) and Human Design (3/5 Emotional Manifestor). I deeply value my family, friendships and relationships. With connection and impact as some of my top core values, my constant observation along with my desire to dive deep into all things have been my strengths in uncovering the objective meaning behind everything, connecting the dots to drive impactful change.
I’ve come to learn and believe that work-life balance is a myth.
Instead, it's about living your life's work. For me, that means dedicating myself to my mission of being the initiator; helping bring visions to life and creating the impact that the world needs.
