I'm an illustrator and designer who brings unique stories to life. With a passion for visual storytelling, I just love transforming concepts into compelling designs that resonate with audiences and capture the essence of each unique narrative.

When I step away from my design work, you can often find me with headphones in, immersed in my latest audiobook discovery—my preferred way to experience literature while multitasking. Or going on runs - I’m currently training for the Chicago Marathon, woohoo!

A peek into my life

At home, my dog Isla enjoys a privileged position as the undisputed center of my world. Isla isn't just a pet but a beloved family member who receives all the love and attention with her unofficial "human child" status in my life.

Through my artistic pursuits and personal passions, I approach life with creativity, dedication, and a warm heart—qualities that shine through in both my professional work and everyday adventures.

Hi! I'm Maria Nash, design assistant at Wave Creative Studio. My passion for design started in high school, where a seemingly random class choice changed my life. I am endlessly inspired by all things nature, the charm of a small town, and, of course, Noah Kahan songs (currently blasting "You're Gonna Go Far"). My happy place is a walk in the park, a Netflix binge of my fav shows (Gilmore Girls hates to see me coming), or baking cinnamon rolls. The thing that excites me the most about brand design is storytelling. Storytelling is the heart of human connection and is where all the magic is made behind the scenes of your brand. I'm thrilled to be a part of the Wave Creative Studio team to help brands share their stories.
