Manifesto
Design is cultural production. Every project is an argument about what matters—a chance to question inherited forms and imagine more generous systems.
I work at the intersection of brand identity, editorial strategy, and spatial thinking. Projects range from independent publishing to institutional rebranding, always rooted in research, history, and close collaboration with writers, curators, and makers who care deeply about context.
Selected Projects
Editorial design and art direction for a quarterly arts publication focused on time, duration, and attention. Led redesign of the masthead, grid system, and typographic voice.
Brand identity and website for a digital archive documenting community organizing in the American South. Developed a flexible visual system that honors historical materials while remaining accessible and contemporary.
Book design and publisher identity for an independent press specializing in translated fiction and experimental poetry. Created a modular cover system that gives each title distinct character while maintaining series coherence.
"Maya brought an unusual attention to the relationship between text and image—each cover feels like it's in conversation with the writing inside."
