About Me

As the founder and Creative Director at Maria Loun Designs LLC, a full-service design firm, I have been enjoying working in the graphic design field since achieving my BFA degree from Temple University in Graphic Art & Design.

Over seventeen years of professional experience in graphic design, interactive design, web, publishing, illustration, fine arts and print

production fields gained from utilization of core artistic and technical skills at professional ad agencies, corporations, sign shops in the New York City, Philadelphia and in between.

 "It is beautiful!  We love our new website! ...We love  everything about it. Very creative. You guys are doing a great job."
— Ana Maria Hartman,
President, Norristown Garden Club
 

"Maria brought a new set of eyes, ideas and creativity into the  realm of Full-Dome Video here at the Reading Planetarium (soon to be The  Neag Planetarium at the Reading Public Museum.)  She was extremely easy  to work with and give direction to. She brought with her expertise in  digital graphic manipulation and creation that GREATLY has improved many  of our public and educational programs we produce and present to and  for our audiences. HIGHLY recommended!"
         — Mark J. Mazurkiewicz,
Director, The Neag Planetarium at the Reading Public Museum
 

       "Working with Maria was great.  I had dealt with web designers  in the past who were very difficult and late for every deadline.  Maria  is just the opposite.  She arrives for meetings as scheduled, meets her  deadlines, and gets things right the first time.  Not only is she good  at what she does, she is pleasant and friendly every time you talk to  her.  You never have to worry about being talked to like you are child  because you may not understand all the technical terms and concepts of  web design.  I would recommend Maria for whatever job you might have for  her."
— Laserworx, LLC
 

"Reliable. Resourceful. Responsible.
         Maria's business strategy ideas helped us get the company's  name out there in no time. Thank you for being available with answers   and  for a quick turn-around  — an aspect that'd be impossible if we  decided to purchase the services of a large design agency."
         —  Respect Ambulance Company, Inc
 

         "I am very pleased with the wonderful, creative, and  reasonably priced web-design service provided by Maria Loun. The  web-site has received numerous compliments from viewers,  and has served  as an effective and professional "calling card" for our Foundation.  Where cost is an issue, Ms. Loun provides a variety of design options to  fit every budget. I recommend her highly."                           
         — George Woloshyn, Ikona Foundation
 

         "Five years ago when we received the portrait of our boxer  Ike, we were so delighted in the realism of the portrait. It truly looked exactly like him. A couple years later Ike passed away. His portrait still adorns our house and gives us constant memory of him. Since then Isaac has joined our household. On his third birthday in December we decided to have a portrait done of  him also. They say lightning doesn't strike twice but the realism of this portrait  rivals the first one. When I first saw Isaac's portrait it brought  tears to my eyes. Capturing every spirit of him. They now hang side-by-side in our hallway. I cannot thank you enough for painting. These are permanent memorials  of very special family members. Everyone who's seen these is amazed with the realism and the artistry. You are truly a very talented artist.  Thank you.
