About Made Creative Studio

Hi I'm Marí,

Senior Graphic Designer based in Cape Town, South Africa.

With over 10 years of experience turning ideas into polished visuals, I launched Made Creative Studio to deliver brand identity and layout work at in-house quality – without the full-time payroll commitment. My background spans digital and print advertising, where I’ve built sharp, scalable brands for startups, creative agencies, and growing businesses that need results fast.

I specialise in:

Why Work With Me?

Good design isn’t just about how something looks – it’s about how it works. I take a thoughtful, practical approach to every project: thinking it through properly, refining the details, and delivering work that’s clear, consistent, and built to last.

Senior-level expertise

With over 10 years of turning ideas into sharp, scalable visuals, I bring the strategic thinking and technical precision of a senior designer. You get thoughtful, high-end results for startups, agencies, and growing businesses.

Sharp attention to detail, every time

I listen carefully, ask the right questions, and translate loose briefs into clear, on-brand creative. Clients regularly note that the work exceeds expectations and stays consistent across every touchpoint.

Reliable and efficient

Deadlines are met. Revisions are handled quickly and graciously. Communication stays smooth. You’ll never have to chase updates or wait weeks for sign-off.

Collaborative partner, not just a pair of hands

I contribute thoughtfully in brainstorms, offer valuable insights, and treat every project as a partnership. The goal is always work that looks professional, feels premium, and actually works for your brand.

No fluff. Just high-end design that helps your brand stand out.

Marí is fantastic and efficient! She is well priced but more so she is really great at what she does and I love that I don’t have to wait extremely long periods for jobs to be signed off… very professional and very good at what she does! I would 100% recommend.
