We’re excited to announce that we’ve added a new member to the Craeve & Co. team. Maria Ryle has joined us as a Graphic Designer, assisting our Creative Director Erin Weston. Maria is fantastic and has already made a significant impact! We are so excited about how much we will achieve with her onboard.

By way of introduction, here’s a quick interview we did with Maria:

Tell a little about yourself and what you do for Craeve & Co.

I joined the Craeve & Co. team as a graphic designer from Upstate New York. I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from Marywood University in Pennsylvania and cannot wait to see how my creativity grows as I work with the Craeve & Co. team.

When I’m not designing or keeping a cup of coffee attached to my hand, I walk my husky, kayak, and explore! I draw my greatest inspirations from hikes and exploring new places.

What were you doing before you joined the Craeve & Co. team?

Before joining the team, my experience as a freelance designer lent itself to developing my own business. In my in-between moments, I coached field hockey for a local high school—I still coach, actually.

What’s your best piece of advice?

Life is too short of pursuing a life you’re not passionate about living. If there is something that excites and scares you all at the same time, it probably means you should go for it!

We are so thrilled and excited to be adding Maria to the Craeve & Co. team. With Maria’s help, we’re going to be able to accomplish some pretty amazing stuff in 2022!
