How can I help you

Branding & Identity

Your brand carries the essence of everything you believe in. If you're ready to explore how visual design can authentically express your mission, we can work together to uncover the story that wants to be told through your brand.

Editorial Design

From books and magazines to reports and publications. Together, we can explore how your stories want to be told visually, whether that's through the publication layout or event materials.

Merchandising

There's something beautiful about creating physical objects that people can hold, wear, and share.
Drawing from my experience with screenprinting and handcrafted work, we can explore how to create merchandise that offers genuine value to your community.

Event Communication

Events are special, they're moments when community comes together and ideas come alive. Whether it's a workshop, conference, or community gathering, we can design materials that feel authentic to your event's spirit and invite people to participate.

Although our team faced setbacks in terms of follow-up and deadlines, Marisa always maintained a flexible, understanding and professional attitude. 



She met deadlines rigorously, presented creative solutions and delivered a final report that was fully aligned with our visual identity. Her commitment, dedication and creativity were decisive in bringing the project to a successful conclusion.

It was a true pleasure working with Marisa on the inaugural issue of Meander Magazine. Her passion for regenerative living and her print and graphic design expertise helped us create a strong foundation for the publication while delivering a high-quality first edition.

Marisa’s attention to detail ensured everything - from the choice of fonts to the overall layout - was carefully considered. Her methodical process brought structure and clarity to the production phase, which made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable.
