about

who am I?

I'm Maia, a designer, art director and photographer based in Toronto and Vancouver. I help brands find their look and voice, then carry them everywhere they land, from identity systems and packaging to campaigns, events and the photography that brings them to life.

I've worked in-house, at agencies, and now independently, so I know how to move between big-picture strategy and the details that make it work. Industries I have worked with span resources, health, sports and consumer brands. The goal is always the same: work that's strategic, considered and impossible to ignore.

who am I?

Nara Parker is an independent art director working from London. The work starts with position who it is for, what it should refuse then becomes identity, site, and motion as one language.
