I’m a San Francisco–based independent graphic designer with many years of experience helping organizations communicate clearly, thoughtfully and beautifully. My clients range from small businesses and nonprofits to larger organizations, with a particular focus today on working with Bay Area nonprofits and mission-driven organizations.

​

I work across branding, publications, reports, print and digital design, bringing both creative thinking and a practical, collaborative approach to every project. I value long-term client relationships and enjoy becoming a trusted creative partner—someone who understands not only the design, but the people, goals and dynamics behind it.

​

I grew up in the French-speaking part of Switzerland with American parents, and am bilingual in French and English. That cross-cultural background has shaped the way I work: I’m curious, adaptable and comfortable navigating different perspectives and ways of communicating.

​

I work from my studio in San Francisco, where I live with my husband, Frank, and our pug, Pico.* When I’m not designing, I’m happiest outdoors—walking, hiking, spending time in nature, or getting back to my Swiss roots on a pair of skis.

—A super talented designer, Marie takes the idea of creativity to a higher level. Her design work required quick, inspired thinking for UI and design changes we had to incorporate on the fly as we got user input. Her greatest strength though is the passion she pours into her projects.
