About
I’m Maria Mokina, an art director and graphic designer based in Edinburgh with over a decade of experience shaping visually compelling brand identities, campaigns, and editorial layouts across publishing, fashion, and digital media. I build design teams, lead creative direction, and translate strategic goals into key visuals, web and print collateral, and impactful storytelling.
After a cup of coffee, I dive into briefs, sketch ideas with AI-assisted tools, direct photoshoots, and collaborate with clients to deliver campaigns that spark responses. I’ve led teams of designers and photo-studio staff, helped launch a magazine, and steered brand identities from concept to production.
