About Us
A professional marketing specialist with more than 26 years of experience, Maritza Gutierrez wanted to create a distinctive doll that resembled a girl's particular culture and attributes.
'Play with a doll that looks like you, unique and beautiful!'
While working on Maru and Friends®, running a full-service advertising agency and still giving back to her community, Maritza finds time to serve as Chair of the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority, an agency of the state that manages and maintains the five major expressways of Miami-Dade. She was appointed by the Miami-Dade County Commission and elected as chair by her peers. She has broken through many barriers as the first women and the first Hispanic women to hold this position.
Additionally, Maritza is an active member of the county's Metropolitan Planning Organization. She is the only Governor appointed, non-elected member of the board.
About the Artist
Our dolls are sculpted by the award-winning American Doll Artist, Dianna
Effner. Dianna has been making collectible porcelain dolls for over 25
years. A mother and grandmother of five, she is particularly fascinated
with children's expressions. She captures the tender features of a child's
face and emotion on each of her doll sculptures.
Her unique style and perfection of lifelike fine collectible dolls with
childlike features is now available for the first time at Maru and Friends
21" all vinyl dolls.
Made with lots of love.
Maru, Tanya and Jamie.
