Hi, I’m Mariah!

The founder/creative director of this artistic haven, Mariah is the heart and soul of the operation. Mariah is originally from the Windy City, Chicago, IL, and now making waves in the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. 

Armed with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) in Visual Communications from Northern Illinois University, she’s not your average brand designer and entrepreneur – but a visionary, a creator, and a dream-maker.

With 7+ years as a design professional, as an in-house senior graphic designer, weaving design magic behind the scenes. And when the freelance cape goes on, she’s the brand designer who brings joy to Joyful Rose Creative.

Mariah is more than just a businesswoman. She’s a well-rounded creative with a heart full of passion for all things art and design. Her secret to success? Working closely with clients, turning their ideas into living, breathing brands.

To friends and collaborators, she exudes creativity, fun, and determination. When she’s not crafting visual wonders, you can find her dancing through life’s rhythms, orchestrating unforgettable gatherings and events for loved ones, and, naturally, conquering the world of makeup.
