When a promising book brief just needs that little spark to truly stand out.

A client of mine—a book publisher—had previously explored AI-generated covers. They were visually interesting, but something felt incomplete. The layout wasn’t quite doing justice to the story.

So I took a step back.

I read the brief carefully, let the concept settle, and focused on capturing the emotional tone the cover needed to convey. Because a great cover isn’t just seen—it’s felt.

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm Maria, a graphic designer from Ukraine and a Master's graduate in Marketing.

For the past 3+ years, I've been helping brands bring their ideas to life through thoughtful visual design. I specialize in branding, logo design, packaging, and visual identities, with a particular love for creating clean, modern, and memorable brand experiences.

My background in marketing allows me to look beyond aesthetics and think about how design can support a brand's positioning, communication, and growth. I enjoy combining strategy and creativity to create visuals that not only look good but also make sense for the business behind them.

Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work with clients from different industries and countries, collaborating on everything from startup brands to premium product packaging.

I'm joining Contra to connect with inspiring people, build meaningful collaborations, and continue growing as a designer. Happy to be here and excited for everything that's ahead. ✨

Going Dark here. The color gradient hits in the right spots without pushing too far into moody territory, which usually works better when clients are comparing slides in a meeting.
