Maria Calakos is a graphic designer

from Queens, New York.

I’m a Graphic Designer with a BFA from Adelphi University, where I graduated in 2017. Throughout my career, I’ve consistently leveraged my design expertise, even in roles where design wasn’t my primary responsibility. I’ve contributed to every position I’ve held by enhancing projects with my background in visual storytelling, creative direction,

and problem-solving.

In addition to my full-time roles, I’ve been freelancing since 2016, delivering impactful design solutions for a diverse range of clients. Specializing in branding and event design, I've helped businesses and organizations communicate their identity through memorable visual experiences.

I’ve also designed social media content and marketing materials for both digital and print campaigns, some of which have reached a global audience. As of January 2025, I’ve expanded my skill set with a certification in UX Design, further enhancing my ability to create intuitive and

user-centered experiences.
