Brands that grow from the ground up.

I'm Marianne. I help purpose-led businesses, founders and communities find their voice, shape their image and build audiences that stay. I do it through strategy, social media and content that feels made by people, for people.

Campaigns for Good

Design for good

When design becomes direct aid.

When the war displaced families across Lebanon, I teamed up with artist Kay Ayach on a limited run of T-shirts, stickers and postcards. I co-designed the merch and ran the campaign, orders and pickups myself. All proceeds went to DADA Community Art Space and a grassroots initiative supporting displaced families.

The same skills that build a brand can build solidarity. I bring the same care to every cause-led project I take on.
