HEY, I'M MARIA
A Bulgarian gal based in Scotland. I help people turn their ideas into bold brands they’re proud to stand behind. I care about clarity, confidence, and creating work that actually feels like the people it represents.
HOW I GOT HERE
My creative journey has been anything but linear. I grew up not knowing exactly what I wanted to do, so I let fate decide. Literally.
​​
I asked my mum to write options on pieces of paper, and I picked one out of a hat.
​​​
The winner? Spanish Philology.
Spoiler: I lasted one semester.
After not attending many lectures, and spending my time playing basketball instead, I realised my heart was somewhere else entirely. ​​​ So I packed my life into a 23kg suitcase and moved to Scotland to study Digital Media.
That's when it all changed. Somewhere between projects I loved and assignments I didn’t, I found design, and it finally felt right.
THE LEAP
After graduating, I stayed in Scotland and took a few unexpected turns. I freelanced on the side, kept creating, and slowly built the confidence to stop treating design like a hobby. Eventually, I chose freedom over safety and that's when Made Beyond Limits came to life.
WHAT DRIVES ME NOW
I’m motivated by curiosity, honest conversations, and that moment when someone sees their brand and says, “That’s me.” I believe design should be intentional, expressive, and make people feel something.
