Design that resonates. Brand and function in perfect harmony.

BASED IN WARSAW, POLAND

UPDATED NOVEMBER, 2025

Hello, I'm Maria. I am a designer and visual creator who believes that great design is a form of storytelling. My foundation in the printed world taught me that every element from typography to empty space - communicates a message. I carry this narrative-driven approach into my work as a Brand and Digital Designer. Currently based in Warsaw, Poland.

DESIGNS THAT RESONATES. BRAND AND FUNCTION IN PERFECT HARMONY.

My work is a constant exploration of how to translate a brand's core identity into functional and engaging experiences. I build the systems that allow brands to speak with a clear voice, whether that's through a complex app's design system or a multi-page editorial layout. My experience as a Junior Art Director gave me a holistic view of campaign creation, while my current product focus sharpens my skills in building tools people genuinely want to use. I am a growth-oriented creator, constantly learning how to tell better stories through design.
