About + CV


Maria Hodor is an artist and indie game designer.  She explores the world through whimsical use of colour and playful motifs, reminiscing of nonsensical stories and fairy tales.  In her work, she brings  unique contrasting elements, which are highly influenced by the surreal world of her inner child's imagination.

As a game enthusiast, Maria makes and studies games. She has a Master’s in Game Designing, and has been working on indie games, which you can find on her itch.io page.
