A designer with
more than one
way of thinking.

I didn't arrive here through one discipline.

I studied graphic and spatial design for advertising, then interior and exterior design at the National Academy of Art in Sofia. That meant learning to think about communication on a page, on an object, in a room and in the real world.

I developed early work in exhibitions, physical environments and 3D. Later I joined international creative projects through agencies and platforms such as Jovoto, contributing design concepts, visual communication and product ideas to briefs involving major consumer brands.

In 2019, I established Mariya Design. Small identity briefs became full visual systems, then long-term relationships spanning website work, packaging, brand maintenance, content and production. I still do the thinking and the making myself.

My interests haven't narrowed. I like restrained typographic systems and expressive color. I like premium packaging and technical product communication. I enjoy solving practical problems—and I enjoy making things beautiful.
