If this sounds familiar

That’s where I come in, helping businesses build brand systems that feel intentional, consistent and ready to support growth across print, packaging and digital touchpoints.

The Process
01. Getting to Know Your Brand
We start with a discovery phase to understand your business, your goals, your audience and what you need designed. This creates a clear foundation before any visual direction is developed.
02. Setting the Direction
Whether you’re working with Essential Branding, Signature Branding or Design Support, we define a visual direction for the project. This includes an overall brand feel, so every design decision is aligned before moving into execution.
03. Designing Your Brand
This is where the brand system comes to life. From logo design and packaging to digital assets and everyday marketing materials, every detail is designed with intention, consistency and care.
04. Final Touches & Launch
Once everything is approved, your final files and brand assets are prepared for use. You will walk away with polished, ready-to-use design assets that help you launch, share or refine your brand with confidence.
“We have been complimented on our logo and branding already”
We wanted something unique that would set us apart from big-box stores and we have to say Maru’s creative direction blew us away. We initially didn’t really know what we wanted, but she took the time to really get to know us and helped bring our brand to life. We are about to open our store and have been complimented on our logo and branding numerous times already! We are totally obsessed with our new brand and couldn’t have done it without Maru!

“We saw an increase in engagement and got many compliments”
Working with Maru has been a great experience for our brand. Aside from the beautiful designs, we love that the project guidelines and strategy are clearly communicated prior to starting any project, as well as getting the deliverables in time. The work itself has been a big hit for us. We saw an increase in our engagement and got many compliments from our existing clients! We are really happy with the results.
