INDEPENDENT MIND · INTERNATIONAL PRACTICE

More than
one discipline.✳

I'm Mariya—a senior brand and creative designer. I work across identity, packaging, digital, campaigns and spatial design. I like thinking through the idea as much as making it real.

02 / MY PRACTICE

Sometimes it's the whole brand.
Sometimes it's one part of it.

I've started with logos that became complete identity systems. I've joined existing brands and made their visual communication more consistent. I've worked on labels, websites, exhibitions, digital assets and campaigns. Different scales. The same attention to detail.

01

Think

Research, creative direction, decisions and visual concepts.

02

Build

Identity, layout systems, digital experiences and production assets.

03

Make it work

Guidelines, revisions, handoffs and ongoing development.

Mariya's stunning ability to bring to life what I have in my head but am unable to articulate is just amazing.

04 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK

I like design.
All of it.

My background began with advertising and spatial design, moved through international creative briefs, and developed into long-term identity and production work for brands. I still enjoy the mix—precise systems, expressive visuals, practical problem-solving and learning new tools.

I work directly, take responsibility for decisions and care about what happens after a file is handed over.

05 / INDEPENDENT DESIGN RESEARCH

Curiosity doesn't
clock out.

Outside client work, I build color systems, visual libraries and interactive tools. Experiments are a way to practice, not just something to show.
