Hi, I'm Mari!

Multidisciplinary by Design

I’m Marilena, but please call me Mari. I'm a multidisciplinary designer specialising in branding, illustration, and motion. With over a decade of experience, I create adaptable design systems used across teams; from logos and templates to animations, infographics, and social campaigns.

Design That Works Harder

I believe design should do more than look good. Whether it’s a visual identity, templated campaign toolkit, or explainer animation, I build work that’s flexible, consistent, and easy for anyone to use; from seasoned designers to non-technical team members.
