My name is Mara and I am an illustrator and graphic designer based in Michigan.  In 2022 I earned a bachelor’s degree in illustration at Grand Valley State University. After graduating, I jumped into my role as the sole graphic designer at Developing Dreams, where I create a wide variety of graphics for our clients, including branding and digital marketing.  I also freelance as an illustrator and creative, collaborating with clients to bring their vision to life while meeting deadlines.

Aside from my professional pursuits, I love baking and crafting. I find that after a long day of working digitally, returning to traditional creation helps not only my eyes but also refreshes my creativity and allows me to reconnect with my love for art from childhood.

I strive to learn as much as possible from each project, always aiming to exceed my clients' expectations. My passion lies in using my skills to create meaningful work, and I hope to work with people who share the same commitment to making a positive impact!
