Maria graduated from the Barcelona School of Architecture, a period she balanced with music studies. This combination of technical knowledge and passion for art shaped her approach to design from the very beginning. Her curiosity about exploring how light influences spaces led her to specialize in architectural lighting. After gaining experience at internationally renowned studios, she decided to found her own firm, Càlida Lighting, in 2021.

Càlida Lighting is an independent lighting design studio based in Barcelona, founded with the mission to create emotions through the language of light. Since its inception, the studio has worked on a wide variety of project types, always keeping the well-being and comfort of people as its main focus. Their approach is based on the dialogue between light, architecture, and sensory experience, understanding lighting not only as a functional tool but as a key element to enrich the perception of space and the user experience.
