Maria P.

Hi there. I'm Maria and I'm a graphic designer from Italy.

I'm always trying to improve myself and to keep an open mind. As a rule, I never say never.

Well, almost.

As a second rule, I don't follow trends unless they are good trends.

I love studying foreign languages and using my dobsonian telescope.

I also love travelling, good music, enjoying a lot of time in the middle of nature.

Illustration, photography and 3d renders are the tools through which I can convey my ideas. I like to experiment as much as I can: each project needs its path & process to the final design.

Among the many, these are few of my favourite things:

Travelling (train, car, anything will do) while listening to music; Having my feet in the sand; meeting new people who can show me the world through their eyes; Designing/experimenting with no goal and see what comes out; Waking at 5 in the morning and watch the sunrise; Using my telescope to spot a new galaxy/nebula; Drinking a good coffee while watching an interesting video or documentary; Having photography sessions around the city with friends; Finding out something new about myself.
