About me

Explorer at heart,
love for art
and colour.

I'm Maitree Jain — a creative designer with 8+ years of experience spanning fashion, editorial publishing, and technology marketing. Based in Almere, the Netherlands, I bring together visual craft, UX thinking, and a hands-on approach to building — from concept through to live execution.

The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration.
