Studio Marbar
Who I work with.
Hospitality, professional services, social enterprises and growing businesses across Ireland and Northern Ireland, which are usually at one of these three moments.
Not sure where you fit? That’s what the free call is for.-
You want to look established from day one and charge what you’re worth, not patch it together and fix it later.
-
The business has moved on but the logo, website and materials haven’t. You’re a bit embarrassed sending people to your site.
-
Your brand’s in place, but the posters, socials and menus keep piling up, and things are starting to look inconsistent.
SERVICES
SERVICES
There are three ways for us to work together. On their own, or one after the other. Every project is one-to-one with me, from first conversation to final file.
Build It
Branding
A brand identity built on real strategy, not guesswork. We start with an in-depth discovery session, then I design an identity that feels like you at your best.
Launch It
Website
A website that looks the part and is easy for you to run. Built on Squarespace, set up for search, and handed over with a video walkthrough so you’re never stuck.
Keep it Working
Retainers
Your own in-house designer, without the hire. Each month we plan what’s coming, I design it, and everything you put out looks like you.

The Grace, Westport Estate
Luxury Hotel Visual Identity
Working closely with Legacy Communications and Westport Estate, I helped them define the overarching visual identity for the hotel. That meant a colour palette, typography, graphic devices, textures and photography mood.
Nancy’s Barn, Ballyliffin
Café Brand Refresh & Website
With their visual identity system feeling outdated and inconsistent across touch points, they needed a cohesive brand and website strategy that reflected their Donegal roots, coastal setting, and warm, welcoming personality without straying too far from what their loyal customers love.
Kind words from my clients.
"She is very creative and considered"
Working with Mari on the Buncrana Town Team Action Plan was a great experience. She is very creative, considered, extremely responsive, and attentive to detail. The finished product was really impressive and the Buncrana Town Team happily recommends Studio Marbar.

"Mari’s discovery sessions are an absolute necessity"
If you are looking to see your business and your own potential through an entirely new lens, Mari's discovery sessions are an absolute necessity.
Jude Torley, Shabra Group CEO
"She pushed us…"
She pushed us to move beyond the day-to-day operational mindset and helped us define a high-level identity that feels both powerful and true to our values.
The Courthouse Shared Space Creative Hub, Bushmills
“We are so proud of it!”
We couldn’t be happier with the finished result. A huge thank you for your incredible patience, creativity, professionalism, and attention to detail. The branding and website are everything we hoped for and more, we are so proud of it!
Kieran Doherty, Nancy’s Barn
How it all Works
We start with your story.
STAGE 01 - DISCOVERY
It all begins with a free 30-minute call, then an in-depth discovery session where we dig into your business, your customers and what makes you different. You’ll come away seeing your business more clearly, before a single thing is designed.
Your brand and website take shape.
STAGE 02 - DESIGN & BUILD
I turn what we uncovered into a brand identity, a website, or both. You’ll see the direction, give feedback in clear rounds, and nothing is signed off until it feels right.
You go live, and stay looking your best.
STAGE 03 - LAUNCH & ONGOING SUPPORT
You get every file, your brand guidelines and a video walkthrough of your website. Then, if you’d like, I stay on as your designer with a monthly retainer, so everything you put out keeps looking like you.
