About Maria Barros

Creative Director/Design Director at Anthesis Group

I'm Maria — Creative Director and Art Director based in Switzerland, with 10+ years across advertising, international brands and graphic design.

I work with designers and creatives who have experience but still carry quiet questions like "Who am I in this field?", "What's my real strength?" or "Why am I even doing this?". If that sounds familiar, you're in the right place.

What I offer:

Positioning — We'll find your main strength and cut everything that's pulling you in the wrong direction.

Portfolio review — I look at your portfolio to find what you're actually capable of, not just what you've done.

Road map — I help you find the shortest road from where you are to where you want to be.
