Let's Find Your Perfect Match.

Spoiler — you can have both.

Whether you're just getting started or finally done settling — we built something for exactly where you are.

Built for entrepreneurs

I'm Maria, the founder of Refinery Nine and a designer for over two decades — which means I've seen every trend come, go, and embarrassingly come back again.

I started Refinery Nine because good design shouldn't require a second mortgage or a six month wait. Your website should work as hard as you do — strategic, sharp, and unmistakably yours.

My approach is equal parts editorial obsession and real business strategy. No fluff. No cookie cutter. Just design that holds attention, builds trust, and sells while you're doing literally anything else. I work locally in the beautiful Hudson Valley Region of New State and beyond.

That's just two decades of knowing what works.

That's not magic.

One designer. 

No shortcuts.

Maria C. Walls

Brand Strategist  •  founder of Refinery Nine.
