Hello, I'm Maria!

Hi there! I’m Maria Alejandra Castillo Castro, but you can call me Maria. I’m originally from Bogotá, Colombia, and I’ve been living in Canada since 2019. I love anything creative—drawing, design, tech projects, and learning new skills. I’m currently studying New Media Design, and this website is where I share my work, my interests, and the things I’m passionate about.

Education

  1. I attended Summerhill School in Colombia from Kindergarten to Grade 5.
  2. I attended Niakwa Place School for Grades 6 and 7.
  3. After moving, I completed Grade 8 at H.S. Paul School.
  4. I then attended Dakota Collegiate, where I completed Grades 9 to 11 and the first semester of Grade 12.
  5. I am currently enrolled in the New Media Design Program at the Louis Riel Arts and Technology Centre.

Technology & Design

I studied Computer Science from Grades 10–12, where I learned the basics of C++ using Visual Studio. These courses gave me a strong foundation in programming logic and problem‑solving, and helped me feel more confident working with technology.

I also took several art courses, including an Art Immersive program in Grade 11. Through these classes, I explored new techniques and expanded my creative skills, discovering artistic approaches that continue to influence my design work today.
