About Me

Analyst. Creator. Builder.

Maria Imuede is a Risk Analyst with over six years of experience across banking, fintech, and insurance who made the leap into the world of AI and digital creation. She builds content, apps, automations, and digital products that help brands grow.

She runs The Builder by Maria, a paid digital skills community where women and moms learn how to earn using Canva, AI tools, Amazon KDP, and digital products. She also manages content and community operations for multiple brands. Her analytical background means every piece of content she creates is tied to a strategy, not just an aesthetic.
