ABOUT. ME©
I’m Marv—currently floating between Brussels, Barcelona, and Montréal.
I have been a brand designer expert for 3 years, helping dozens of small businesses create bold and memorable identities to get them noticed in their crowded industries. From fintech to biotech, health, AI, and production studios, I have found a passion for brands that are willing to be different.
Unlike most brand designers, i have an expertise in both brand design and engineering, offering a unique value to startups by understanding technical complexities of your product and the business journey. This unique combination means I don't just design brands that look great—I create identities that align seamlessly with your product and development processes, becoming an integral part of your team rather than just an external designer.

Brand identity brings your strategy to life. It's where your brand meets the visual world to create a scalable system that grows with your company. This isn't just about a logo and type pairings; we explore layout systems, visual assets, photography styles, and much more.
