I’m Maïko Fronteddu, a Belgian-born, New York-based multidisciplinary designer, art director, and creative thinker. I help brands build meaningful connections and uplift communities through thoughtful design and unified storytelling.

I create innovative brand communication across digital, print, video, editorial, social media, and integrated campaigns, with expertise in brand development, marketing, narrative strategy, social media, apparel graphics, and visual experiences. Thriving in diverse creative environments, I work closely with executives to foster cross-discipline alignment and elevate brand identity while crafting cohesive and impactful narratives.

My work is driven by a commitment to authenticity, cultural resonance, compelling aesthetics, emotional connection, and purposeful design, with a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and elegance.

Rooted in a lifelong fascination with artistic expression and underground movements, music and DJing are essential to my creative process, shaping how I mix rhythm, mood, and concepts. Skateboarding culture—from skateboarding to snowboarding—has shaped my perspective, blending freedom, movement, and creativity. I’m also captivated by disruptive patterns—camo, florals, and unexpected textures—as well as timeless objects, from vintage vehicles to well-crafted clothing. These influences fuel my pursuit of design that is both meaningful and striking.

While drawn to outdoor adventures—by the sea, in the mountains, or on two wheels—I’m equally inspired by the energy of big cities, urban landscapes, and street culture.

Fluent in English, French, and Italian, I thrive in multilingual and multicultural settings, bringing a global perspective to my work.
