Hey there!
I’m Mae Ware
Graphic Designer | Brand Designer | Multimedia Designer
Welcome to my little slice of the internet!
Let’s break the ice…
I fell in love with graphic design back in 2015, and began my professional design practice in 2019. In May 2023, I obtained my B.F.A. in Graphic Design from the California College of the Arts. Previous experience includes working with small businesses, as well as serving as the lead designer for Intentionally Blank Projects and working as a UX UI design intern at DragonFlySM.
Some of my favorite things to do when I’m not behind my computer are hiking around Santa Barbara County or Yosemite National Park or “granny crafts” such as embroidery or crochet. I also love to make friends wherever I go (such as this cute frog I found on an adventure).

What I do…
I've dedicated a significant amount of my time as a designer immersing myself in the world of brand and visual identity design. Alongside this focus, I've also worked in various other areas of design, including product design, marketing, and creating eye-catching ephemera.
During this past year, I've been striving to improve my typography and layout skills. To achieve this, I took on an ambitious seven-month project titled CCA Sucks: The Voices of Concerned Students, Staff, and Faculty. This nine chapter chronicle not only allowed me to strengthen my typography and layout abilities but also provided an opportunity to refine my research, writing, and craftsmanship skills.
Undoubtedly, I find great joy in working on color-driven projects, both independently and in collaboration with others. It's one of my life’s greatest joys to bring designs to life, and it’s amazing that I’m able to do what I love for a living.
