Award-winning brand designer, art director, and artist.

Maria Poe (aka Ponomareva) has been working in visual communications for over 20 years, having honed her skills at leading branding agencies in Russia before moving to the U.S. on a talent visa.
Now based in the New York area, she continues to consult on design and branding while dedicating more time to her personal art practice. Her current focus is on experimental ceramics—tactile, emotional works that explore memory, materiality, and transformation.

Amazing clients have allowed me to produce work that I am proud of.
