Work Experience

In Diseño Centroamérica

Graphic Designer, Creative Director

I've been working alongside interior design agency In Diseño Centroamérica as a graphic designer for the past years. We do mostly commercial projects, ranging from hotels, restaurants, fast-food chains and retail stores. I conceptualize each project beginning with their corporate identity and move on to the in-house graphics. From there, we part with the interior design to create an identity that flows all the way from the logo to the furniture styles.

"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Maria Pia Lopez several times. Every time she has fulfilled her job with excellent results, in a professional, courteous, responsible and rapid manner.
What I like the most about her job is that she always comes about with a solution that meets our needs. She understands very well ones ideas and is able to creatively convert them into an excellent project. She does this on a very creative, trendy and up-to-date manner. She is a perfectionist, in the best sense; and will go out of her way to make sure you get what you’ve asked her to perform.
