View Larger Image and Additional Photos of Maria BurgelovaAbout Maria Burgelova : Maria has been working as a designer since 2008. She is currently the Managing and Creative Director at More By Us, where she leads a dynamic team providing a wide range of design and branding services to multinational companies and startups. She has experience in graphic and web design, marketing, and management.
Through her work, Maria has gained extensive experience and understanding of design in the context of different cultures and societies. She is always guided by her childlike curiosity about the world, which she considers her greatest strength.
Design and art fill me with a sense of childlike excitement and curiosity, fueling my desire to explore, create, and appreciate their nuances. I see symbols as central characters in a visual narrative, which is why I'm drawn to the realm of visual storytelling.
To me, design and art are like raising children—you can guide the process and set a framework, but ultimately, they take on their own journey from the moment you put the first stroke on a piece of paper. Designers are like good parents: they allow their creations to grow, and develop in unexpected ways while using their skills to shape the character, style, and visual story of the work.
