Hi, I’m Maria, an illustrator and designer creating playful visual systems for children’s products, brands, apps, games, books, and websites.

For the past six years, I’ve been working with children’s products, combining illustration, character design, branding, and visual storytelling. My experience includes children’s books, educational materials, packaging, mascots, app visuals, games, and brand illustrations for clients around the world.

Over the last year and a half, I’ve also been expanding my practice into UI/UX design at Bang Bang Education, with a focus on creating emotionally engaging digital experiences.

My work is often colourful, expressive, and playful, but it is also built on research, organisation, and clear communication. I like to understand the audience, the product, and the story behind each project before creating visuals.

Whether I’m designing a character, a brand system, a children’s book, or an app concept, my goal is always the same: to create visual experiences that feel clear, warm, and memorable.
