About me
Hello, I am Marleen
A designer, athlete, and creator who values clarity, purpose, and intention in everything I make. My work blends minimal aesthetics with functionality, shaped by years of discipline from elite sports and a deep passion for visual storytelling.
I gravitate toward clean layouts, calm compositions, and design systems that actually work in real life. Whether it’s a brand identity, a product, or a digital experience, I focus on creating designs that feel balanced, thoughtful, and easy to understand.
I grew up in Estonia, and the Nordic sense of simplicity, honesty, and quiet confidence naturally influences my style. Now moving between Estonia and the U.S., I bring both perspectives into my process — the stillness of home and the pace of competition.
Design, for me, is like training: consistent, intentional, and rooted in improvement. It’s where my creativity meets structure, and where I get to build things that help others express who they are.
