Hello! My name is Mariya,
I'm the founder and lead designer of Mariya Design Studio. My journey into the world of design began with a deep passion for visual storytelling. I’ve always been fascinated by how a brand identity can shape perceptions and create lasting connections with audiences. After earning my Master’s degree in Design back in the day, I had the pleasure and privilege to work with global brands (some of them in the 500 list) on various projects, ranging from luxury packaging through brand strategy to service & product concepts, and much more.
Over the years, I’ve completed a lot of diverse tasks in the field. Nonetheless, what really captivates me is pure branding. Being able to develop, establish and refine brand identities, laying foundations of a business which evolves, eventually becomes prominent and remains successful in the ever-changing markets. Playing such a key role is simultaneously responsible and exciting.
As mentioned, the opportunity to do projects for renowned brands like Coca-Cola, Victorinox, Mondelez, Nestle, Henkel, Daimler, Skoda, etc. has honed my all-round design expertise. Could not be otherwise, as these companies usually tolerate only top-notch specialists and if you botch a project once, you are out for good. At some point, I decided to pursue a branding career of my own, preferring to directly cooperate with independent clients from all over the world.
Whether I'm developing a total brand identity from scratch or crafting luxurious packaging, my goal remains the same as it has always been - to do my best job and exceed the expectations. So, there you have it - Mariya Design. A boutique studio that is proud to offer bespoke design services, tailor-fitting every project to client's vision. You are welcome to share our journey in the world of branding. I can promise your ideas will come to fruition and results will be worth the effort.

I learned a great deal working with Mariya and am extremely happy with the way that this project turned out.

"Mariya created a fantastic brand book for my company.
I tend to be hands-on and quite particular when it comes to design work which I know can be challenging for other designers, but Mariya worked with me very well and we were able to kick ideas back and forth quite freely. Mariya was able to take a barebones PowerPoint outline and elevate it into something beautiful, useful (even to laymen), and flexible."
