About me

Designer, image-maker, curious human.

Portrait of Maya Rowan
Hello!

I’m Maya, an independent designer and creative director building brands with brains, beauty, and a little bit of mischief.

The longer version

For the past decade, I’ve helped emerging brands and established cultural institutions find the clearest, most compelling version of themselves.

My practice moves between strategy, identity, art direction, and digital design. I like being involved early—when the questions are still messy—and staying close enough to make sure the final details carry the original idea.

Before going independent, I led multidisciplinary teams at studios in London and New York. Today I work with a trusted network of writers, developers, photographers, and motion artists, building the right team around each brief.

Stay curious

The best answer is rarely the first obvious one.
