senior creative based in Toronto

John Maia portrait

I am a Toronto-based creative with 15+ years of experience helping consumer-facing brands define how they look, communicate, and show up across channels.

My work spans brand identity, retail graphics, packaging, campaign systems, digital advertising, motion, and production-ready design. I focus on building visual systems that are clear, memorable, and practical enough to hold together across every customer touchpoint.

Collaboration is central to how I work. I care about understanding the broader business and brand context so the design can do more than look polished; it needs to support the message, the audience, and the environment where it appears.
