About Candidate

If we’ve made it this far,
I guess you can call me Mia.

You’ve gotten this far and now I consider us friends. It’s nice to meet you! I’m a Multidisciplinary Designer, Art Director, and Strategist who loves turning ideas into brands, visuals, and experiences that people remember. I work at the intersection of creativity and strategy helping brands not only look good, but communicate clearly, connect with the right audience, and grow with purpose.
My journey into design was a little unconventional. I started out studying Biology before realizing my curiosity lived elsewhere. What began as a side interest quickly became an obsession, and before long I was teaching myself design through courses, workshops, experimentation, and a lot of trial and error. Looking back, it was probably the best detour I could have taken.
Over the years, I’ve worked across branding, packaging, campaigns, content, e-commerce, and creative direction, collaborating with beauty, wellness, lifestyle, and hospitality brands. My favorite part of the process is uncovering the “why” behind a brand its story, positioning, and purpose and translating that into meaningful creative work that resonates with people.
I’m endlessly fascinated by branding, consumer behavior, and the strategy behind what makes people stop, engage, and remember. Whether I’m developing a campaign concept, directing a photoshoot, building a brand identity, or refining a customer experience, I believe great design starts with thoughtful strategy.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me traveling, at the gym, hunting down a good bowl of pasta, learning about the latest AI tools, or signing up for another course because apparently one hobby isn’t enough.
You can follow along with my work, travels, and occasional behind-the-scenes chaos on @themiassdiaries, or explore projects from my creative studio at @miae.studio
