My name is Maria (she/her) and I founded Brunch Gal in London, to work on Contract Design projects for Visual/UI Design · Visual Identity · Art Direction · Graphic Design

My work includes helping companies elevate their brands and products by implementing Design Thinking, and strong aesthetics, across a wide variety of contexts and design tools.

You’ll find me hanging out between GMT and EET most of the times. I’m based in the United Kingdom and occasionally travel to my home country, Greece.

What they say about me

  • “[...]The passion with which she takes on each work and the meticulous detail that goes into completing them is commendable. Her hardworking nature and the drive to keep growing her skills is a true inspiration! She also has an infectious energy that uplifts the team and helps build strong bonds even after the work is complete. She is a colleague you wish you get to work with throughout your career, and I hope we cross paths again in the future!”

    Amala Antony, UX Designer

  • "[...] As a designer, and someone who values high-quality aesthetics and experiences I'm not easily impressed, and it takes a lot for me to hand out a compliment, but with Maria I found myself doing this every time we worked together - in awe of her design abilities and leadership qualities. If you are fortunate enough to come across Maria in the interview process, I would strongly recommend you make her an offer there and then. Designers with her talents and combination of skills are extremely rare to come by, and you should consider yourself lucky that she is considering you."

    Connor Chatting, Product Designer

  • "[...] She is a brilliant and considerate visual designer as well, with her illustrations and designs appearing on a number of our social media and marketing comms campaigns and as well as used in support of our operational initiatives such as branded merchandise, company-wide communications and for employee recognition and rewards programmes. [...] Maria is an empathetic, purpose-driven and highly-skilled and talented designer who goes above and beyond in terms of her investment in the workplace and the people and the culture. She is a tremendous asset to any organisation and will be for decades to come."

    Natasha D’Souza, People Program Manager

  • "Maria was an integral volunteer in making the Magnify 2023 conference a success. Maria led the UI and visual design elements. The work she produced was always of the highest quality. She is incredibly considerate and sets accurate expectations of when work can be completed. She is really creative and explains why she has made decisions well too. She communicates with care and worked autonomously, only checking in when necessary. I would love to work with Maria again and highly recommend her on any team!"

    Claudia Hopkins, Product Designer

  • "Maria is one of the most magnificent people you will ever meet. She's an extremely talented designer- her illustrations are beautiful and she really cares about every detail/pixel she is designing for. Maria goes out of her way to help others and is one of the most collaborative individuals I've worked with. She takes feedback so well and you know that she's already putting it into action for her next project. Her talents aside, she's the kindest, most giving, caring people you can wish for. I hired Maria as a peer/colleague at Tigerspike and I'm glad that we have become friends."

    Michelle Coulson, Remote Job Coach

  • "One only but hopes they come across people like Maria during their career. She is a true visionary and creative. She emirates creativity in all its forms and is a true artist. She always brought a positive attitude to her work me for that I can only but thank her for. She like many of the women I have worked with is one of those colleagues I hope to meet again and again throughout my career. Inspiring! "

    Laura Fine, Operations Lead

  • "Maria is an asset to any organisation looking for a sophisticated and modern design across their product and marketing materials. She's one of the best designers I've worked with and is alway attentive to the specifics of the brief. More often than not she'll make wonderful suggestions and add ons which further brings the design to life - above and beyond expectations. I thoroughly recommend Maria for company, product or campaign design needs."

    Bosco Tan, Developer Growth Lead

  • "Maria is a superstar in every sense. She is a talented designer who always goes above and beyond. As an example, I recently worked with Maria on an event. Not only did she deliver stunning creative for the complex and ever-changing brief at lightning speed, but she was committed to ensuring every aspect of the event was a success, not just those that directly involved her. Her relentless positivity, passion, talent, and work ethic make working with Maria a dream. I highly recommend her for any product/marketing design work you care about - she will deliver."
