👋🏼Hey, I’m Maria Fefelova
🌱I craft stories, build brands, and inspire audiences
Find me on:
I specialise in copywriting, consulting, branding, and web design.
I am a digital creator, published writer and poet, The Current Podcast host.
👩🏻🎤More about me
Put simply, I like to chat and create. Put thoroughly, I love to draw up entire worlds with just the power of thought and speech. I emigrated my homeland at 12 years old and ventured on a journey since.
With an entrepreneurial spirit, I wrote a short novel at 14 years old, held an art exhibition at 19, established my brand by 22, launched a printed magazine by 23, released a podcast and became a published writer by 25.
With a branding/marketing London experience, I now work with creatives from all over the world. My current focus revolves around cultivating my personal brand, centered on holistic design and content creation, while also advocating for physical and mental wellness.
In addition to nurturing my own brand, I'm passionate about sharing my creative expertise with the world. I specialise in building brands and crafting compelling narratives that resonate with audiences on a deeper level.
At the end of the day, I believe anything is possible if you put your mind and heart to it, and have a foundation of support. So let’s work together to create our extraordinary reality!
