Small business design without the agency price tag or the 6 week waiting list.

Maria, founder and designer behind Design by Maria

I am Maria, a graphic designer based in Aberdeen. I left Warsaw to build something of my own, and after working with clients across the UK and beyond, I know what small business owners actually need: clear, honest design that works, without the agency fees or the waiting list.

I work with a small number of clients at a time so you get direct access to the designer, a faster turnaround and a more personal result. You can also explore my graphic design Aberdeen work, from banners to social media graphics.

An absolutely lovely girl who is so talented and so professional! I was quite picky with what I wanted for my website but Maria was so professional and patient with me and worked hard until we got the finished result. I've had my business for 7 years and I was waiting for the perfect person to design my website and that was Maria! I would recommend her to anyone who is serious about building their business! Thank you Maria x

I wholeheartedly recommend Marysia! She truly knows her stuff when it comes to websites and, most importantly, she really understands her clients. She's incredibly helpful, patient, and understanding even with “difficult clients” like me. She created my website and continues to look after it. She always keeps an eye on everything and even reminds me when things like my domain are about to expire. You can genuinely rely on her 100%. Communication with Marysia is always easy and pleasant, and the whole collaboration is smooth and professional. If you're looking for someone to create and manage your website, Marysia is the best choice!
