MEET THE FOUNDER

George Maras

Born and raised in Limassol, Cyprus, I developed an early appreciation for art, creativity and the world around me. My journey took me to Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC), where I studied Art and Design, expanding my creative perspective and building the foundations of my professional career.

Over the years, I have worked across various design fields and industries, gaining more than two decades of experience and developing a diverse set of creative and technical skills.

I started my professional journey as a graphic designer, specialising in communication design and visual storytelling. As my curiosity grew, so did my practice. I explored new disciplines, developed technical drawing and design skills, and gradually moved beyond the digital world into hands-on creation.

Today, my work brings together design, art and craftsmanship. I am passionate about woodworking, building, drawing, painting, experimenting with materials and transforming ideas into tangible creations.

As the founder of Maras Design Lab, I bring together creative thinking, technical knowledge and practical skills to approach projects from concept to completion. Whether developing a design, crafting a unique object, building furniture or creating an installation, I enjoy exploring possibilities and finding practical, creative solutions.

I believe inspiration can be found almost everywhere — in nature, people, everyday objects, materials and the unexpected. I enjoy working across disciplines, collaborating with others and constantly learning through the process of making.

For me, design is not just about how things look. It's about imagination, problem-solving and making things happen.
