Not sure which is right for you? Let's talk.

My prices are slightly high. Kind of like your standards.

In case we haven’t met…

I’m Maria.

I spent 13 years designing digital products for some of the most recognised brands in the world. Then I got an MBA because I wanted to understand why some businesses grow and others stay stuck.

Gumptious is what happened when those two things met. Strategy-led design for women who are serious about where they're going.

Brands I have worked with:

Disney_logo_client
MtSinai_hospital_logo
Indigo_logo_client
pfizer_logo_client
nyc_logo_client
