Hi, I’m Maria Katsarou, but most people call me Kats. I’ve spent my career blending creativity with strategy to bring brands to life in ways that truly stand out.
My Journey
Over the past 15 years, I’ve continually sought out new creative challenges, refining my skills and expanding my expertise. Many of the projects featured here were shaped during my 11 years—and counting—at Colibri Branding & Design, one of Greece’s top agencies, where I have collaborated with a diverse range of clients. From building enduring brand identities to mentoring emerging designers, my focus has been on delivering designs that truly connect. Now, as a senior designer and packaging specialist, I fuse creativity with experience to transform ideas into compelling
visual stories.
My Beliefs
The heart of my design philosophy lies in the success of the brands I collaborate with. While design is my passion, I find true satisfaction in witnessing a brand flourish. I consider myself not just a designer but a partner in their success story, dedicated to crafting visuals that resonate with their audience and contribute to their overall growth.
