INTRODUCTION
I'm Maria. I am Thai, from Sweden, but London is where I call home. I work as a graphic designer and creative director, and I also run my own grassroots football team, HamsterFC.
FAVOURITE THING ABOUT WHAT YOU DO
I love pushing the boundaries of design and creating timeless, visually appealing pieces like magazines. When not working, I revel in playing football and running—I love moving my body and being outdoors; it makes me so happy!

A SWEAR-BY HAIR TIP
Hair oiling and scalp massage
A SMALL JOY
Iced matcha and cuddles with my cat, Miso.
HAIR WASH ROUTINE
When I have time, I oil my hair for a few hours, follow with Dizziak Shampoo and Conditioner, then blow-dry to ensure my roots are dry, finishing with a light mist of Dizziak oil.
WHY DIZZIAK
I've suffered from an itchy scalp for about a year and was searching for a hydrating shampoo. The first time I tried Dizziak, not only did it have a delicious smell, but it also calmed my scalp, and the itch was gone! I love the incredible ingredients list and that it's suitable for every hair type.
GREAT HAIR MEMORY
I really loved having pink hair!
