We say we’re a ‘no-bullsh*t studio’ because we know efficiency is paramount for business owners, so we aim to get rid of the fluff to get right to the point.
We *actually* care about you and your project, so you can always count on us to be present, transparent & straight-forward, like that friend who tells you you’d look like sh*t with bangs 👀 We’re here to build a lasting relationship with you, to follow you along your journey – and give you that extra push when you need it!
We strive to give each client a smooth & stress-free experience.
Meet the founder
hi! I’m Marjolaine*
* (like marjorie but rhymes with elaine)
I’m a self-taught designer, coder, business owner, startup founder and more! I have a background in marketing, but in my early 20s, I felt ready to tackle new challenges, and I haven’t stopped since. I’ve learned tons from my successes, and even more from my failures ☕👌
I’m business-savvy without compromising on creativity and aesthetics. I believe you can be serious about growing a successful business and still have fun! This studio is my playground, where I get to do what I love while helping brands achieve their *wildest dreams* (ah ah, haaaa iykyk)
