I’m Maca, and I’m so glad you found me.

 

Open Thread Communications is a collaborative studio focused on clear communication, thoughtful design and brands that feel human.

​

I live at the intersection of beauty and functionality. I love solving problems and connecting people to ideas, which is why I became a graphic designer.

​

Well, first I was a 911 dispatcher. Then a student of American Sign Language. Then an English major. And then a photographer. But somehow, all of it led here.

​

Now, as a graduate student in communications, I’m focused on the bigger picture: shaping brands from the inside out, where strategy, voice and design work together.

​

I start by listening. I want to understand your voice, your values, what you’re trying to say, and what’s getting in the way. Then I bring it together through strategy, language, visuals and experience, so your brand doesn’t just look good. It makes sense, feels human and is built to last.
