Designed a recurring Instagram carousel series focused on intentional connection, emotional awareness and reflection. The challenge was to create a calm, premium-minimal visual system that felt human and practical while remaining instantly recognizable across every post.
I developed a flexible carousel structure with strong hierarchy, generous space and consistent visual rules—designed to support clear storytelling while encouraging saves, shares and ongoing engagement.

⁕ Full Brand Identity for Trace™
One of the project's greatest challenges was creating an identity that is instantly recognizable and inspires investor confidence, while balancing a futuristic aesthetic with the sense of reliability intrinsic to the brand's values.
The core concept draws inspiration from the cosmos and the brand's drive to transcend boundaries; no matter the distance, the delivery is guaranteed. We translated this visually through patterns forming paths that lead to a destination, a motif that extends to every corner of the visual language.

I joined Contra just a week ago and have mostly shared the client branding work I do through Mariya Design.
But I haven't properly introduced the other branch of my practice yet:
Color Systems by Mariya.
It started from something I kept running into in brand and packaging work: a color palette can look beautiful and still be surprisingly difficult to use.
So I began building systems around color instead of collecting combinations.
Today that includes:
/49 Luxury Color Systems
Role-led color systems for branding and packaging.
/365 Cultural Color Palettes
A growing archive of color directions inspired by places, objects, materials and visual culture around the world.
/Color Systems Workbook
A free tool for turning color inspiration into a usable system.
/Color System Sales Kit
A practical tool for designers presenting and selling color direction to clients.
I'll share some of the systems, visual references and thinking behind them here over the next few weeks.
If you're a designer, brand strategist or just slightly obsessed with color, this side of my work is probably for you.

Pixelity is a modern digital technology agency focused on creating precise, intuitive, and impactful digital experiences. The identity was built around the idea of pixel level precision, transforming the smallest building blocks of digital design into a distinctive and scalable visual language. The geometric P symbol represents structure, technology, and attention to detail, while the broader identity balances technical precision with creative simplicity.
The result is a flexible brand system designed to work seamlessly across digital products, interfaces, social media, presentations, and brand communications.
