Cover image for Very happy to share that
Very happy to share that my work is on Awwwards. Again. This is my third Awwwards nomination this year. The previous two projects received an Honorable Mention and a No-Code Honors award, so let's see how this one does. Over the past few months, I've helped Rozalia Boma bring her website to life, and it's easily one of the most whimsical projects I've ever designed. Inspired by her nostalgic, multicultural YA romances, we embraced a bold Y2K aesthetic with holographic backgrounds, floating emojis, magical mouse trails, a retro music player, draggable sections, a guestbook, a dress-up mini-game, and plenty of playful interactions. To be honest, I wasn't sure a project this unconventional would resonate with a platform like Awwwards. It breaks plenty of web design conventions, but it connects deeply with its audience. Users spend an average of 4.5 minutes exploring the site, which I'm pretty proud of. If you'd like to check it out or throw a vote its way: https://www.awwwards.com/sites/rozalia-boma-writer w

Cover image for I joined Contra just a
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. Color Systems by Mariya mariya.design/color-systems

Cover image for Seht — Haircare Product Photography Seht
Seht — Haircare Product Photography Seht is a dermatologist-tested, fragrance-free haircare brand. The client came to me with a clear vision: a moodboard of minimal, editorial product photography for their shampoo and conditioner, and a request to create images in that spirit without copying any of them. The brief was clear, but it pulled in several directions: liquid in motion, foam, motion blur, dark still lifes, bright editorial rows. So before shooting anything, I built a short visual guide to hold the series together. It sets a three-tone palette, typography, camera and lighting rules, and one core restriction: only the product, its own formula, water and light in frame. From that system I produced a set of 10 campaign images, plus extra frames for social. Each one was built from the client's references, then refined through retouching so the bottles, labels and formula textures stay true to the real product. The result is a set that feels like a single campaign rather than ten separate photos, and a visual language the brand can keep building on.

Cover image for Hot take: hair growth products
Hot take: hair growth products don't have to look like medicine to work like it. Most brands in this category go clinical white and blue, it reads safe, but it also reads like something you'd hide in a drawer, not something you'd want visible on your sink. For Maneup Labs, I went almost fully black instead. That was a real risk. In a category this saturated with sterile, pharmacy-white packaging, going dark could just as easily read cold, or get lost next to competitors leaning into "clean = trustworthy." But it did the opposite: next to every clinical-looking bottle on the shelf, black reads premium, not medicinal, closer to what you'd expect from a grooming or fragrance brand than a hair-loss aisle. That's the audience shift the whole rebrand was built around, not the guy who wants to feel like he's medicating something, but the guy who wants a product that looks like it belongs on his counter. Would a bottle like this make it out of your bathroom cabinet and onto your sink? Check it out (https://contra.com/p/oN7mPNlL-maneup-labs-brand-identity-and-packaging-design)
