Mayara Zucheli

Graphic Designer

I’m Mayara, a graphic designer with a deep love for cats, literature, and traveling. When I’m not busy bringing my artistic visions to life, I enjoy quiet moments curled up with my cats, Dom and Misha, and diving into the pages of a captivating book. Among the many treasures on my bookshelf, 4321 by Paul Auster reigns supreme. With a boundless curiosity and a passion for exploration, I embrace life’s adventures with open arms, always seeking inspiration in the world around me and, of course, in a good book.

I would describe myself as a lawyer, entrepreneur and avid reader. In the words of Dolores Cannon, 'when we go someplace, we leave a part of our energy there and we influence more than we can ever imagine.'. Realising this makes me feel optimistic about the change that I can help generate in this world and it is with this in mind, I decided to make a change by joining STW. I also like to play football, travel and design pottery in my free time
