Hi, I'm Mariel

So glad you're here! I'm the creative behind Plum Design Studio. With over 12 years of experience, I build authentic brands and strategic websites which help businesses thrive. I believe quality design is rooted in empathy and thoughtfulness. I always aim to get to know my clients and truly understand their goals so that I can provide them with a solution that is tailored to their needs. I find so much joy in helping my clients tell their stories and share their visions through design.
