Hello! I'm Daniela Maya

​I’m a designer, creative thinker, web developer, illustrator and a nature loving introvert.

 

I specialize in creating beautiful, usable, professional websites and interfaces designs for small businesses across the United States. I only use the best design and development practices that results in semantic and SEO friendly website designs. With a background in art communication and graphic design, I approach every project by focusing on what the people want, establishing empathy for business owners as well as the visitors that will be using the product or service.

 

My weapons of choice are Photoshop, Illustrator, and Adobe XD. to do the initial site layout designs to later import to a website making software such as Duda, Wordpress or Squarespace.

 

When I’m not designing websites for clients, you can find me brushing up on my knowledge in HTML, CSS and Javascript. I’m constantly keeping up with design trends and practices as well as new technology and software.

 

Hope to get connected soon!
