    Maria Wilcox

    Design Director
    I’m a Design Director at Richmond Concept, bringing over 20 years of experience in graphic design and advertising. My journey in design began with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, followed by a Master of Business Administration from the University of North Texas. My extensive background includes working with both in-house marketing teams and advertising agencies, giving me a comprehensive understanding of the industry from various perspectives.
     
    My design philosophy goes beyond creating visually appealing graphics; I’m deeply committed to using design as a powerful communication tool. I combine my creative flair with thorough research, strategic thinking, and a logical approach to support my design decisions. This unique blend of creativity and analytical skills allows me to develop and evolve brands to be their personal best.
     
    One of my standout qualities is my exceptional organizational skills. I take organization to the next level, ensuring that every project is meticulously planned and executed to meet and exceed client expectations. My dedication to client satisfaction is unwavering, and I am always aiming to deliver results that not only please but also inspire.

    I bring over 25 years of design expertise to the table. My journey in design began with a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Communications from Florida State University, and since then, I’ve made it my mission to understand and meet our clients’ project needs at every stage.
    My true strength lies in my unwavering dedication to our clients. I don’t just design; I partner with you to unravel innovative solutions for even the most challenging projects. With an extensive background in corporate communications, advertising, and branding, I possess an innate understanding of design from concept to delivery.
     
    But what truly sets me apart is my personal approach to design. I don’t see projects as mere tasks; I view them as opportunities to help your brand shine. Throughout my extensive career, I have harnessed my creative leadership and problem-solving skills to assist companies in elevating their brand, deeply engaging consumers, and achieving remarkable success in their markets.
     
    I’m more than just a design leader; I’m a trusted ally in your quest for design excellence. I’m passionate about putting your needs at the forefront of every project and working tirelessly to ensure that your vision becomes a reality. With me by your side, you can be confident that your design needs will not only be met but exceeded.

    Managing Design Director
    My position isn’t just a job; it’s a commitment to our client’s goals. My journey to this role began with my Bachelor’s degree in Visual Communications from the University of Michigan. Over the past 14 years, I have honed my expertise in various design domains, from print publications and digital marketing to business branding and presentation design. My academic foundation has been instrumental in shaping my unwavering passion for design and commitment to delivering excellence.
     
    I lead our team with unwavering dedication, guiding us through the intricate design process. I understand that each project is unique and, more importantly, that it represents our client’s specific goals. I’m not satisfied until we’ve delivered on-time and on-target, making sure every detail is just right.
     
    What sets me apart is my exceptional attention to detail. I don’t let anything slip through the cracks. My commitment to quality ensures that every design, no matter how big or small, is impeccable. I am always available for our clients and quick to respond to their needs throughout the day.
