You might be exactly who I work with.
My clients tend to fall into one of two camps. They're either launching something new and want to get it right from the start or they've built something brilliant and the brand hasn't kept up with them.
-
Founders & Startups
Launching something new and want a professional identity that helps you charge what you're worth from day one.
-
Scaling Businesses
You've grown, but your brand hasn't kept pace. Time to build an identity that reflects where you're actually going.
-
Social Enterprises
Mission-driven doesn't mean modest. Your cause deserves a brand that commands the same attention as any commercial operation.
“Most agencies hand you off to a team the moment things get busy. With me, there's no handoff. I work with you one-to-one, from the very first conversation to the final file. Every decision. Every detail. Me.”
— Mari Therese - founder of Marbar.starbarUncover what makes you genuinely distinctive.
Your brand isn't just visuals. It's the confidence and clarity that comes from knowing exactly who you are and what you stand for. Before a single logo is sketched, we sit down and do the thinking together.
Through discovery sessions that cut past the surface, I help you articulate what makes you different, who you're speaking to, and the identity you're building toward. Then I translate all of that into a cohesive visual brand that feels like you at your best.

Every project is scoped individually so this is a guide, not a ceiling. Larger enterprises and comprehensive rebrands are quoted based on their scale and scope.
"Mari acted as a mirror, reflecting a version of our brand that was more ambitious, cohesive and authentic than we had envisioned on our own. The clarity we gained is invaluable."
— Shabra GroupYour brand doesn't stop evolving. Your design support shouldn't either.
Once your brand is built, it needs to live and breathe across everything you put out - social campaigns, print collateral, presentations, event materials. That's where my design retainer comes in.
Think of it as having a designer on call, without the full-time hire. You get a set number of hours each month, priority turnaround, and the consistency that comes from working with someone who already knows your brand inside out.

How We’ll Work Together
This is the most important step in the entire process. Through in-depth discovery sessions, I cut through surface thinking to understand what makes you genuinely distinctive - your vision, your values, your market position, and the ambitious identity you're building toward.
1
DiscoveryOnce I've uncovered what makes you distinctive, I'll present a strategic design direction. This shows how insight translates into visual identity covering style, typography, colour, and tone. Together, we'll ensure the direction feels both powerful and authentically yours before moving forward.
2
DirectionNow the distinctive becomes visible. With strategic clarity in hand, I craft your cohesive identity. Every element chosen with intention to create a brand language that commands attention and reflects your essence.
3
DesignWith the leading design, I will deliver a presentation detailing typography, colour choice, imagery treatment, plus industry specific mock ups to visualise how this design looks in your world. I will then share this presentation with you to support the feedback process.
4
PresentationBy this point, you will have had time to sit with the work to gather and consolidate your feedback. This is your opportunity to send over any amends or considerations you’d like to see in the next round via a dedicated form so nothing is lost in translation.
5
Feedback loopsI address your feedback and depending on the amends, I may organise another presentation to take you through the changes, otherwise I will share over email with an appropriate amount of commentary. By now, we should be very close to sign off if we aren’t already!
6
RefineOnce refinements are finalised, you'll receive all files, comprehensive guidelines, and strategic assets organised for seamless implementation. You gain not just the deliverables but the confidence and clarity to operate at a higher level with a brand that feels both powerful and authentically yours.

Every project starts with a conversation. No pressure, no hard sell - just an honest chat about where you are and where you want to go.
