Owner

Maria

Hi! I am Maria!

I consider myself a lifelong learner and completely blessed to say the least! Had someone told me 10 years ago that I would be a business owner, I wouldn't have believed them. I graduated from ASU with a degree in Mathematics and education in hopes to make a difference in the world one student at a time. Through the last five years, God made it apparent that he wanted me to change the world in a different way. Through postpartum depression and many trials and tribulations I started a hobby with calligraphy and somehow it turned into what we have now! A wedding decor company specializing in laser cut decor. I am extremely honored to be working with a kickass diverse team from different backgrounds and unique strengths! What I am most grateful for is our ability to combine our strengths and help brides bring their vision to life. It's rewarding and truly blissful!

Hi! My name is Sarah. I was born and raised here in Arizona . I am a wife and mother to four beautiful children. I enjoy all the things I’ve learned at Deco Ink, especially learning how to bring all the little pieces together to create custom signage. I always love seeing the final projects come to life! When I’m not working I enjoy being in the kitchen creating new recipes & baking. I love a good gym class especially dancing & spending quality time with my little family.
