Building brands that connect

I’m Maria Miranda, and Miranda Design is where strategy meets storytelling.

My background spans marketing, communications, branding, event production, and stakeholder engagement, most recently as a communications leader at Amazon, where I helped shape how North America’s Reliability & Maintenance Engineering corporate team spoke to the people who matter most to them, thousands of technicians. Before that, I spent over a decade building brand narratives and executing campaigns across various industries. Nomatter the problem or intended outcome, one through line has always remained: clarity wins.

I started Miranda Design because I kept meeting founders, small teams, and organizations who had struggled with clear messaging or having a polished visual brand. That’s the gap I fill. Whether it’s a brand identity that needs sharpening, a communications strategy that needs structure, or an event that needs to actually land, I bring both the strategic thinking of someone who’s worked inside major organizations and the hands-on execution skills to make it real.

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me training for my next marathon, tending my garden as a Master Gardener, or exploring the intersections of creativity and meaning through community groups like Austin’s Creative Mornings. I bring that same curiosity and attention to detail into every one of my projects.

I’d love to hear about what you’re building!
