Maxann Luchkowec

I am

a passionate and perpetual student of Art History

a seeker of elegant design

an avid traveler (51 countries and counting!)

My journey

has been anything but linear and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I started my career in NYC as design director for a fabulous little jewelry company. Fast forward to 2017, I moved to New Zealand and found myself at Air New Zealand with two new passions: Aviation and Learning Design. In 2019, I moved back stateside and put my learning & graphic design skills to good use at SiriusXM/Pandora. In 2020, a year of remarkable change, I somewhat accidentally landed in San Diego. The most happy of accidents. It turns out it is the perfect spot for the New York girl who loves adventure.

I balance

my day job with personal creative work; ceramics, watercolor and oil painting. Making things with my hands is my ultimate form of meditation. On a typical Sunday you will find me exploring the San Diego swap meet for interesting found objects.

My creative approach

—no matter the medium— is to create delightful, elegant and simple solutions keeping the users experience central to all decisions.
