Design with a point of view.
Mara Vance is a one-designer studio in Lisbon — small on purpose, so every project gets a senior pair of hands from first sketch to final handoff.

I started Mara Vance after a decade in agencies, tired of watching good ideas get diluted by committee.
The studio is built on a simple belief: brands are remembered for their edges, not their averages. So I work closely with a handful of founders each year, going deep instead of wide.
Every engagement is hands-on and senior from start to finish — no account managers, no junior handoffs. You get strategy, craft, and a partner who actually cares whether the thing works.
