Meet Maggie

Howdy!

I’m a designer, photographer, and filmmaker based in San Diego, CA. I work on a creative studio team at Deloitte Digital and spend most of my free time with a camera in my hand. When I’m not buried somewhere in Adobe Creative Suite, you can usually find me at a concert, on a road trip, or playing guitar hero iii on expert. I’ve spent the last six years helping brands tell their stories through design. Along the way, I realized some stories are better told through photographs, some through film, and some through a combination of all three. That’s what led me to start Sunbleach Studios. I’m inspired by great music, long drives, interesting people, my fluffy golden retriever, and places with character. I love the warmth of candid photography, the nostalgia of Super 8 film, and the moments that feel real rather than staged.

Studio Background

Before launching Sunbleach Studios, I spent the last five years designing brands, campaigns, presentations, and large-scale experiences for global companies through Deloitte Digital. From keynote visuals and event systems to internal brands and product storytelling, the work shaped how I think about creative direction at every scale.

Brand Worlds 1

Brand Worlds

I’ve built logos and visual guidelines for clients ranging from retro and expressive to modern and minimal. Each rebrand can extend into UI design, websites, presentations, marketing collateral, and more, giving brands a full system to grow with.

Event Design

I’ve created cohesive event identities for cocktail receptions, leadership conferences, NYC Climate Week, Google AI for Play and product launches - most notably designing the full event system and interactive keynote for Liquid AI’s keynote launch to stakeholders.

Presentations that sell

I transform decks into experiences that go beyond slides. From pitches and RFPs to high-stakes keynotes, I help clients stand out with presentations that persuade and inspire.

Editorial Voices

I shape editorial reports into clear, compelling brand stories that go beyond static pages. From annual to sustainability reports, I flex each brand’s voice through layout, typography, and storytelling to make complex content feel engaging and easy to navigate.

Figma Experiences 1

Figma Experiences

I turn traditional decks into interactive Figma presentations that people can click and move through. These experiences help clients show up differently, bringing their story to life in a way that feels more dynamic, intuitive, and engaging.

Content Creation & Other

From social media and website content creation to user journey illustrations to client pitch leave behinds, I've built content for such a wide range of projects and styles.
