Hello, I’m Marianna, an artist with roots in illustration and fine art, who later expanded into the digital and graphic design world. I earned a BA in Design Studies from North Carolina State University, where I explored a variety of design disciplines, including print, graphic, UX, and digital design, all grounded in strong design theory.
My experience includes working as a design specialist for the North Carolina School of the Arts, where I helped redesign their website and focused on advertisement, editorial, and print design, gaining hands-on knowledge of commercial printing processes. Now freelancing, I collaborate with diverse clients to create branding, logos, marketing materials, and websites. I’m passionate about design as a powerful tool for connecting clients with their audience.
Here, you’ll find a collection of my creations that blend creativity with powerful storytelling, showcasing my unique perspective on movement, strength, and resilience. Take a look around and explore the heart and soul of my artistic journey.

When it comes to design, I believe it's about more than just making things look good—it's about problem-solving and clear communication. My experience in visual design and infographics helps me turn complex information into engaging, easy-to-understand visuals. Whether it's leading a project, working within a team, or managing multiple tasks at once, I stay focused on the bigger picture while making sure every detail lines up perfectly. Beyond the design itself, I'm always looking for ways to improve the process through strong interpersonal communication and analytical thinking. From social media strategies to managing projects, I thrive on collaboration and bringing fresh, creative ideas to the table. For me, the key is balancing creativity with organization to create work that not only looks good but also connects with people in meaningful ways.
