Ultramarine is a brand and web design studio shaped by strategy, artistry and a love for beauty: a creative partner for founders who want their brand to carry the same depth and refinement as the work they have built.
Before design, there were other ways of looking.
I grew up surrounded by art, music and beauty. I spent hours drawing at my aunt’s house while classical music played in the background, and it was there I first understood that beauty is something you feel before you understand it.
That upbringing led me through photography, art history and botanical illustration. Each chapter taught me something different about looking: photography taught me about light and emotion, art history about meaning and context, botanical illustration about patience and precision.
Those years shaped everything that followed. They are why strategy comes before design in my process, why detail is never incidental, and why the brands I build tend to hold up over time.
What guides the studio
Clarity
Simplicity
Alignment
I believe good design rests on clear thinking. That a brand should be simple without being empty, and true enough to the founder behind it that it never needs explaining. Those beliefs shape every project I take on, from the first strategy call to the final file.

THE STORY BEHIND
Why I chose ultramarine for my studio name
I have loved blue ever since childhood. The blue of my aunt’s porcelain plates. The blue of a ring I once lost and never forgot.
Years later, curating a moodboard, I came across Yves Klein’s iconic blue square and the word ultramarine surfaced immediately.
It carried everything I wanted the studio to be: rooted in beauty, grounded in history, and precise about what it stands for.
I love working with
founders who care deeply about what they are building. The kind of people who care as much about the thinking behind their brand as the look of it, who value meaning over trend.
