Makimay

Hi, I’m Maja. I am a designer who specializes in brand identity design. 

I obtained my bachelor’s degree as a computer engineer / multimedia design. I also have a diploma in interior design, but I did not gain experience in that field, more individual private projects.

I work as a creative director in the company but also as a freelance brand designer with different clients and agencies worldwide. I also worked as a teacher of design and graphic programs.

With over twenty years of experience working with a diverse portfolio of work and family of clients, in the arts, tech, culinary, fashion, physical fitness, sport, cultural, education, medical, and corporate sectors, I focus my work on logo designs, branding, printing and digital media.
I enjoy helping others to realize their professional dreams by helping them to create an identity. My work process is to define, research, and design concepts based on simplicity. Simplicity is always my starting point and challenge in everything, both in design and in my life.

When I’m not working, I enjoy my free time with my kids, family, cycling, reading books and exploring other areas, or just enjoying walking with friends.

  • Brand Development
  • Art direction
  • Graphic design
  • Branding
  • Packaging Design
  • Consalting

My husband and I were so impressed with Maki. We only had a vision of our business, and she put a picture to it….we are so thrilled with where she took our vision and we are so excited to show our clients. MakiMay was also extremely EASY to work with! No matter what our request was, it was always met and in a timely manner.
