(About)

I design the parts people hold, read and watch.

I’m Mara, an independent designer in Copenhagen. Since 2017 I have worked with studios, publishers and small makers on identities, books and the type that moves on screens.

Most projects are small and long: a ceramics studio, a ferry line, a record label. I work alone, with a few trusted printers, developers and animators when a project needs them.
