Great content doesn’t happen by accident. Let’s create it together.

Hello there!
I’m Maria, a creative executive and brand strategist who relates way too much to Strega Nona. I built MDR Studios to help brands and media companies build content that moves people to stop scrolling.
You’ll find my byline in The Cut, Cosmopolitan, The Wall StreetJournal, and more, and I’ve spent years helping brands like Dunkin’, Pepsi, and Uber find the sweet spot between what they want to say and what their audience wants to hear.
I live in New Jersey with my husband, our dog Edie, and a sourdough starter named Armand.
Let’s work together!
MDR Studios takes on strategic consulting engagements, fractional creative leadership, and long-term retainers.
