Storyteller | Travel, Culture & Human-Centred Experiences

Hi, I’m María del Mar — a storyteller at heart, passionate about people, culture, and meaningful experiences.

Over the years, I’ve worked across communications, hospitality, visual storytelling, and user research in Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Whether through documentaries, digital campaigns, or personalised experiences for travellers, I love creating moments and narratives that help people connect more deeply with places, ideas, and one another.

Welcome to my world of storytelling, travel, and human connection.

About my work (and life) philosophy

I believe in the beauty of what’s real, raw, and imperfect. In a world chasing polish and perfection, I embrace a storytelling approach that values authenticity and emotional truth—because that’s what resonates and drives connection. 

Through research, minimal design, and visual storytelling, I help mission-driven organizations distill their essence into communications that feel human and impactful. Whether it's a documentary on the Curripaco people of the Colombian Amazon or a grassroots awareness campaign, my work celebrates simplicity, depth, and meaning.
