Helping businesses stand out!
Hi, I’m Maya, a senior brand and packaging designer with 9+ years of experience collaborating with beauty, FMCG, fitness & wellness, cosmetics and skincare brands. I specialize in branding, packaging design, art direction and strategy, delivering bold concepts and print-ready assets that help brands stand out. I thrive in fast-paced environments, balance project timelines with creative vision, and enjoy mentoring teammates to grow performance and impact.
I’ve led design for multiple sub-brands and campaigns, from concept through production, and I’m comfortable coordinating with clients, creative agencies and suppliers to bring ideas to life. My work blends strategic thinking with hands-on execution—from mood boards and concept presentations to 2D/3D mockups and final print-ready artwork.
