About

Maria Pimenova

Professional Educator and Graphic Designer

Design, to me, is a universal superpower, transcending boundaries and constantly evolving to meet new challenges. It is an endless journey of discovery, joy, and knowledge.

I am working on a combination of the age-old paper art with modern design tool such as artificial intelligence. The potential for blending traditional techniques with digital tools and exploring innovative applications of paper in design is a journey I eagerly anticipate.
