Portrait of Mareë, founder and strategic brand identity designer at Studio Rugha based in Rotterdam.

HI, I'M MAREË

I'm Mareë, founder of Studio Rugha, a strategy-led branding agency based in Rotterdam working with ambitious startups and growing businesses worldwide.

I don't believe in quick fixes or generic templates. Your business has its own unique story and your visuals should reflect that. I help you move past the phase of inconsistent, DIY design and guide you toward a brand identity that looks as professional as the service you actually deliver.

Together, we create a strategic foundation you can proudly use across every single touchpoint.

  • I had a bunch of ideas and a few random screenshots. Mareë really took the time to listen and helped me figure out what I needed.

    Leila, Business Coach

  • Working with Mareë was fun. She really brought my ideas to life in a way I couldn’t have done myself. She’s honest and definitely tells you what works and what doesn’t. The branding turned out even better than I imagined. I’d definitely work with her again.
