I build brand identities, editorial systems & the occasional unreasonable idea for people who'd rather not look like everyone else.
A handful of recent collaborations. Six of the forty-odd that I'm allowed to show.
I'm Mara — a designer who believes a brand should have a pulse, not just a palette.
For twelve years I've run a studio of exactly one person: me, a very loud espresso machine, and a habit of saying the quiet idea out loud.
I work with founders, labels and cultural institutions who want the thinking and the craft from the same set of hands — no account managers, no relay race. We talk, I make, we argue a little, and something honest comes out the other end. I care about kerning the way other people care about their children.
Engagements run from a single sharp logotype to a full brand world. Pick a lane.
