About Me
Maria Ingrande Mora (they/she) is a content designer and a brunch enthusiast. Their love languages are snacks, queer joy, and live music. A graduate of the University of Florida, Maria lives near a wetlands preserve with three cats, two teenagers, and two billion mosquitoes. They can often be found writing at their stand-up desk, surrounded by house plants. Unless the cats have destroyed them.

A Little More About Me
Hey, thanks for still reading! If you follow me on social, you may notice me occasionally talking about my mental health. I have an anxiety disorder and ADHD. I’m on meds, have a psychiatrist, and see a therapist regularly. It’s important to me to normalize this stuff. Depending on how wobbly I’m feeling at any given time, I may talk about it a lot or only talk about it a little. But I’m always open to having conversations about it if you ever want to DM me or reach out via email. THE IMMEASURABLE DEPTH OF YOU is written from a vulnerable space, drawing from many of my own experiences. I hope that readers who can relate feel seen. I see you.
Gender & sexuality
I’m queer. If you have questions about how my gender identity or sexuality relates to or has an impact on to my creative work, feel free to ask. I’d rather you ask than assume. However, I’ll set boundaries as needed.
Ethnicity
I am white. My name is Italian, and my heritage is Italian and Portuguese.
