She created Maalavidaa in 2016 as both a persona and an artistic mindset, whilegraduating in June 2018 with a Master Degree in Graphic Design and a thesis dealing with the importance of Psychology in Design.
Ever since, Alycia has been working as an independent creative director while mainly focusing on putting mental-health and wellness at the forefront of her practice, defining herself as a designer of emotions. Alongside her print-oriented background, Alycia is also experienced with branding, motion design, programming, UI/UX, textile design, laser cutting, 3D printing, offset/screen-printing, and cultural mediation.
