Just a girl who loves Jesus, her family, coffee, and CMYK.
Hey there! I’m Marianne.
Nice to meet you!
I’ve been a full-time graphic designer since 2007, which includes time as an in-house designer at a printing company, a graphic designer at a Christian publishing company, a custom wedding & event stationery designer, and a retail product designer. While my experience covers a wide range of design projects, I get most excited about print design. There’s just something special about ink on paper! I particularly love a project that involves that “extra something”: die-cut shapes, special finishes or binding techniques, puzzle-like logistics… Let’s get creative!
When I’m not working on print projects for my clients, you’ll find me spending time with my husband (God sent me the most wonderful man!), playing with our two young sons, snuggling with our two dogs, enjoying a cup of coffee, doodling on the iPad, trying a new recipe I found on Pinterest, or taking a nap (because let’s be honest: keeping up with little boys will wear a mama out!).
“Marianne is a passionate designer who I have enjoyed working with for several years. She is creative, hard-working, and punctual with deadlines. She develops her ideas and presents them so it’s easy to see how each design can work for your need.”
—Andrea Young, Design Manager

Did you know that I also love to draw??? I can’t remember a time in my life when there weren’t pens and pencils and paper nearby. For the last couple of years, I’ve been learning how to fully use my iPad to create artwork, also. Sign up for my email list to learn about the latest developments in the art side of my business… and how to get some of my drawings for yourself!
I believe…
that as followers of Jesus Christ, we are to love and serve our neighbors. Whatever acts of service are within our power and ability to do, we should do them. If it’s not possible to do the work personally, we should support the ones that can and are. Here are a few ministries near and dear to my heart that I love to support as much as possible.
