Maya Dyer

B.F.A. Graphic Design

As a designer, my inspiration stems from the living world—particularly the diverse forms and
qualities of plants and animals that surround us. My work explores the interplay between
nature and emotion, shaped by the organic lines of flora and the expressive characteristics of
fauna. To me, plants represent growth, balance, and natural beauty, while animals embody
emotion and individuality, offering a rich avenue for expressive communication. Though I’ve
attempted to move beyond these motifs, I continually return to them. They remain essential to
my creative process, forming the foundation of my visual language.

My design approach revolves around finding a balance between detail and simplicity, creating
work that is visually compelling without being overly intricate or minimal. Color serves as a
vital element—it communicates meaning, sets tone, and infuses energy. I seek harmoniously
balanced palettes that reinforce the message of each project, ensuring that colors work
together rather than compete. Each composition is designed to let elements breathe while
enhancing emotional resonance.

My exhibition celebrates the interconnected beauty of flora and fauna, expressing a deep
passion for nature through design. It highlights the visual dialogue between natural forms and
human emotion, inviting viewers to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with the living world
around them.
