Indelible Fields is a design-research-based creative practice for worldmaking, visual storytelling, and creative learning. It develops visual worlds, publications, art objects, and creative tools that help people observe, associate, remember, imagine, and make meaning from everyday experience.
The practice has three connected branches: Products, Services, and Field Lab. Products include art editions, publications, and creative thinking tools such as card decks, journals, and Field Notes Kits. Services include visual communication, storytelling, experiential design, and custom creative learning materials. Field Lab is the design research and learning initiative where these tools are prototyped, tested, and developed through workshops, cultural/educational collaboration, and community-based experiments.
The long-term goal is to turn worldmaking from a personal artistic practice into a shared creative method — one that can support children, adults, educators, artists, cultural institutions, and communities in cultivating human observation, imagination, and meaning-making in the age of AI.
Hello, I’m Maiana.
I observe first.
I write, draw, and make worlds from the things that quietly ask to be noticed. A word, a place, a forgotten object, a fragment of memory, a pattern that persists - these are often where my work begins.
Indelible Fields is my living journal. It is becoming the living record of that practice: a place where observations take root, grow into associations, and slowly bloom into books, drawings, field notes, and imagined worlds.
This field will continue to grow and change as I do. I hope it grows for many years, and that those who wander through it may discover a few seeds of their own along the way.
Thank you so much for visiting!
