Editorial Showit websites and brand identities for creative entrepreneurs who are done blending in. Built to hold attention and pull their weight.

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.
