The only brand creative you’ll meet with five printing presses in their living room.
If the preceding sentence didn’t make it obvious, I’m a little unusual.
I’m a classically trained printmaker and self-taught designer that got into art direction by introducing myself to a lot of strangers in advertising who were willing to answer my questions or take a chance on me. As a result, I’ve worked on dozens of brands across a spectrum of industries, and picked up production, client, and leadership skills not usually found all in one creative.
I cut my teeth in photography and design in the university newspaper, did a lot of production work in college and right after graduating, learned about branding, e-commerce, retail, and industrial design by developing, designing, and marketing consumer packaged goods, and traded my way up to working freelance and in-house for agencies and big brands.
Oh and about the presses—some people got into sourdough during COVID lockdowns and I decided to get back into letterpress, one eBay auction at a time. I’m still figuring out how to run a low VOC print studio out of my own apartment, but you can check out what I’m up to here.
Wanna chat?
I like looking at portfolios, discussing new opportunities, and talking shop. Send me an email at hola@naomi-maria.com, schedule a call on Hangouts, or reach out on social. Hablo español, parle français, e leio um pouco de português também.
