hey, it’s me

My name is Porsha Marais.
I am a designer, illustrator and aesthetic perfectionist but most importantly I work for myself. I’ve run my own ‘studio’ (aptly called Porsha Marais) since 2010 and you can hire me to design pretty much anything. I specialise in branding, packaging design, illustration, print design, product photography and websites for boutique brands. I can work from anywhere, but am currently chillin’ on the Gold Coast, say hi!

branding is important

A brand is so much more than a logo. There are so many elements that combine to create a brand – from the personality of the wording to paper choices & fonts – designing a brand is all about conveying your brands ethos though your products and communicating clearly and honestly with your clients. I want to help you do that. For me the greatest thrill is to work closely with a company with a great product and help them brand/package/represent their way of being through their brand. In the end I want your brand to feel like a member of your family, with its own personality, look and friends (loyal fans).

… but hey, if you want me to just draw you a custom illustration of your chinchilla wearing cowboy boots, I can do that too ;)

check out my work and tell me you love it.
