What I do
Most projects combine two or three of these. Every one starts with a conversation.
Brand identity
Logos, typography, colour and the rules that hold them together, so your brand looks like itself on a mug, a website or a 6-metre banner.
Print & editorial
Magazines, books, catalogues and annual reports with layouts built on a clear grid and type that is easy to read at length.
Packaging
Labels and boxes that stand out on the shelf and work within real production constraints, from die lines to printer proofs.
Posters & campaigns
Event and cultural communication designed as a series: posters, social formats and signage that share one voice.
How a project runs
A typical identity project takes six to ten weeks.
Listen
We talk about your business, your audience and what is not working today. You get a written brief to approve.
Explore
Research and sketches lead to two or three distinct directions, presented with real-life mockups.
Refine
We pick one direction and work through two rounds of feedback until every detail is right.
Deliver
Final files for print and screen, a guidelines document and support with your printers.
Replace with your portrait (4:5 ratio)
About
I’m Mara, an independent graphic designer with ten years of experience in studios and agencies before going freelance in 2021.
I work best with people who care about the details: roasters, publishers, festivals, architects and small brands that want their identity to last longer than one season.
My work is rooted in typography and print. I like strong grids, honest materials and colour used with intent. When the job calls for it, I team up with a trusted network of photographers, illustrators and developers.
