Hey there! 

By now you know my name is Maria Laureno and I am an Illustrator and Designer. Here’s what you may not know…

Originally from Baltimore, Maryland home of Old Bay and Blue crabs

Graduated with a BFA from Ringling College of Art and Design in 2016 

Moved from Cleveland to Chicago, from American Greetings to Camping World working as a Designer

By day - I am concepting, art directing, and designing campaigns at Camping World

By night - I am painting, printing, and posting watercolors through my side hustle: MariaMade

When I don’t have a wacom pen or watercolor brush in my hand… you can find me either on a plane visiting family & friends, surrounded by 1000 tiny puzzle pieces, or enjoying an old fashioned.
