What Clients Experience When We Work Together
"Working with Marisa Brodie Creative was one of the most powerful brand experiences I’ve ever had. I simply shared my story, my vision, and a few answers to her questions and somehow, she created a brand guide that felt like she had reached into both my heart and my mind at the same time. Seeing it for the first time moved me to tears. She didn’t just design a brand, she brought me to life on paper. Her ability to take an idea and elevate it into something so visually aligned, so emotionally resonant, is unlike anything I’ve experienced. Marisa is not only one of my favorite collaborators, her creative vision and intuitive gift are truly unmatched."

FAQs
-
I’m a multidisciplinary designer, which is a fancy way of saying I wear a lot of hats so you don’t have to. Think of me as your visual Swiss Army Knife. Here is how I can help:
Brand + Identity: I don’t just make logos; I build the entire "outfit" your business wears to work, from color palettes to typography that speaks louder than words.
Digital Design: If it lives on a screen, I make it shine. Websites, social assets, and emails that actually get clicked? I’ve got you covered.
Print Design: Because sometimes you just need to hold something beautiful in your hands. I create tangible goods like packaging and brochures that people hesitate to throw away.
Art Direction: The "vibe check" for your project. I ensure every visual element sings in harmony so your message lands perfectly.
Portrait Photography: No stiff school-photo vibes here. I capture the real you—whether that’s "approachable CEO" or "creative genius at work." -
No creative chaos here—just a smooth, streamlined system designed to get you results.
We Chat: I ask the tough questions to figure out who you are, who you serve, and why you do it.
We Align: I send over a mood board. If you say "heck yes," I start designing. If not, we adjust course before I waste any of your time.
We Create: I present distinct creative concepts. You tell me what you love (and what you don't).
We Refine: We mix, match, and polish your favorite concept until it’s perfect.
We Launch: I build out your asset library so you can start turning heads immediately. -
The short answer? Usually 4 to 6 weeks.
The long answer? It depends on how fast we move together, but I run a tight ship to get you launched as soon as possible.
Here is the typical schedule:
Kickoff + Mood Board: 1 Week.
Creative Concepts: 2 Weeks.
Asset Creation: 2-3 Weeks.
Websites: TBD (These are big beasts and usually extend the timeline). I’ll always give you a custom timeline for websites before we start so you aren't left guessing.
My goal is always to get you high-quality assets as quickly as I can without cutting corners. -
We’re in this together! To make sure we start on the right foot, I need a few things from your end:
Security: A 50% deposit acts as a "save the date" for your project. It ensures I can turn down other work to focus entirely on you during our weeks together.
Clarity: We’ll sign a simple agreement so we are totally aligned on what I’m delivering and when.
Insight: Before I design a single pixel, I need to know your brain. I’ll ask you to fill out a questionnaire about your audience and goals so I can build a brand that actually works for your business. -
Absolutely. You paid for them, so they are yours! I don't believe in holding files hostage.
When we wrap up, I’ll send over a zipped folder with your assets in every necessary format. Plus, I include a "How-To" guide so you don’t accidentally stretch your beautiful new logo or use a print file on Instagram.
The only exception is fonts: Because fonts are technically software, you may need to buy your own license for them depending on usage. Don't worry, though—I’ll send you the links and tell you exactly what to buy.
