Most of her inspiration comes from growing up close to the sea. When she finished high school, María had the opportunity to travel to Italy. There she got interested in fashion and did an undergraduate on history of fashion design in Firenze. She now lives back in Mexico City, where she attended film school at EsCine (Escuela Superior de Cine) and works as a freelance photographer, art director and writer.
