About - Maria Marie

Welcome to Maria Marie, I’d love for you to get to know me a little better and discover what inspires the work that I do.

I am always searching for visual stimulation, something which is heavily guided by my love of travel. Visiting, experiencing and absorbing the wonders of the world fuels my creativity and ignites my desire to create truly impactful designs.

For me, it is all about the inspiration I can give to others to be their most creative self. From working with brands who align with my passion in creating an ethical, sustainable world to mentoring women to gain the confidence, clarity and motivation that they need to put their creative ideas into action, it is my pleasure to share my creative lifestyle with this amazing community.

Combining my experience as an Art Director, Photographer and Graphic Designer, I am lucky to have worked with some amazing brands that range from small local start-ups to industry icons (including Dyson, Ford, Unilever, Issey Miyake, Dior and Adobe). So, when it comes to understanding your needs and how to capture an audience through meaningful and influential visuals, helping to communicate your message with thought and meaning is at the very heart of what I do.

Pastel Moods is my first book and a visual love-letter to the exploration of the wonderful colours that surround us and impact our moods and experiences daily. Alongside the creation of this, I also teach visual storytelling to a brilliant, global online community, enabling the expertise of powerful storytelling to be honed and crafted by a new generation of artists and storytellers.
