NICE TO MEET YOU!

I'm Marleen, or Marleenska as my sister started calling me years ago, a visual communication designer living in Hamburg.

I love precision and creativity in equal measure. Whether I'm perfecting every pixel on a screen, teaching myself a new programming language on a whim, or getting hands-on with a large canvas, I thrive on contrasts and variety.

I believe design should be anything but standard — my goal is to create work that’s as dynamic and unique as the people it's for.
