I believe every brand deserves a clear, true expression of itself.

My work starts with listening. I want to understand who you are, what you make, and who you're trying to reach, before I suggest anything. From there, we build together: with clear scope, honest timelines, and design that actually fits.

Here are 3 ways I work with clients:

Service 01 · Personal Brand, Photos & Website

The Full Presence

For coaches, therapists, and creatives who are ready to ditch the DIY branding and website and who want to show up online with confidence and attract the right people.

Investment: from 3000€ excl. VAT

Let's talk

If you've been hiding behind a generic template, a stale logo, or photos that don't feel like you anymore, this is where we start fresh. I create a complete identity, a Showit website you can actually edit yourself, and a photoshoot that captures who you really are.

  • Brand identity (logo system, color palette, typography system)
  • Showit website (up to 5 pages, fully mobile-optimized)
  • In-person or destination photoshoot
  • Brand guidelines (so everything stays consistent)
  • Launch support and a walkthrough so you can update the site yourself


  • Local SEO setup (Google Business Profile)
  • On-page SEO optimization
  • Blog post templates
  • Email signature and welcome sequence design

A complete visual identity that feels unmistakably you, not a template anyone else could buy.

A website you can update yourself at 11pm in your pajamas without calling a developer.

A library of photographs that actually look like the person your clients meet on a call.

And the quiet confidence that comes from knowing every touchpoint, from your Instagram bio to your welcome email, finally tells the same story.

Sometimes you don't need a whole new identity. You need photos that show people who you actually are, in the rooms where you actually work, doing what you actually do. The result is a library of images you can use across your website, social media, press, and pitch decks for the next year or more.

"Marina saw something I hadn't been able to see for a long time: that my presence no longer matched who I am. With the new branding and new photos, I finally show up as myself."  — Ines, hair stylist at "Haar & Erfolgsschmiede"

A year's worth of photography in one day. Forty to eighty images that work everywhere, from a website hero to a LinkedIn header to a podcast guest bio.

No more cropping the same three photos for the hundredth time. No more wishing you had something fresh to post.

A library that grows with you and makes you actually want to be visible.

Service 03 · Brand Identity, Packaging & Marketplace Visuals

The Product Suite

For product brands ready to look like the brand they actually are. And for German brands entering the US market who need someone fluent in both worlds.

  • Brands launching a new product and wanting a fully consistent presence from day one
  • Established brands ready to move out of the "looks like everyone else" zone

  • Brand or sub-brand identity development
  • Packaging design with 3D mockups or product photography
  • Marketplace listing imagery: optimized for Amazon, DTC, and retail
  • Video ad or product video

A product brand that holds together across every surface a shopper touches.

Packaging that photographs cleanly and sells on its own.

Listing imagery that converts because it's designed for how people actually scroll.

Visual imagery and video ads that feel like one coherent edition, not seven different freelancers stitched together.

And a visual system you can extend yourself across new SKUs, new campaigns, and new seasons without losing the thread.

I design the full visual world around your product, from packaging and identity to the imagery that sells it on Amazon, in retail, and everywhere a customer meets it. This is the work I've built my reputation on across European product brands, including a 125-year anniversary edition for a heritage German brand and a 7+ SKU organic skincare range I've designed from the ground up.

Building a German brand for the US market? I work in both directions and I speak the language on both sides.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Full Presence · Personal Brand, Photography & Website

A typical Showit site or focused landing page takes 3 to 6 weeks from kickoff to launch. Larger multi-page sites take a bit longer. We set the exact timeline together when you book.
Showit is the platform of choice for creative entrepreneurs and personal brands in the US. It's visually flexible, designer-friendly, and most importantly, you can edit your own site after launch without needing a developer. I'll walk you through everything so you're independent from day one.
The shoot is included in The Full Presence. If you already have strong, current photos you love, we can adjust the scope and the investment accordingly. Just mention it on our call.

The Product Suite · Brand Identity, Packaging & Marketplace Visuals

Yes. About half the brands I work with come to me at exactly that stage. We start with the brand foundation: positioning, visual identity, naming if needed. Everything else builds on top of that. It's usually the moment when the work compounds the most.
Source files (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects) are available on request for an additional fee. We discuss this in the proposal stage so there are no surprises.
You do. Once the project is paid in full, all final designs and brand assets are yours to use as your brand grows. I keep the right to feature the work in my portfolio and on social media, unless we agree otherwise.

Working Together

Email is the default. For larger engagements I set up a shared Notion workspace so we both always know what's next and what's been delivered. I respond within 24 hours on weekdays.
Yes. Some of my clients have been with me for years, across new products, new campaigns, and the evolution of their brand. What an ongoing collaboration looks like depends entirely on what you need.

Every project is different.
Every brand deserves the right fit.
