I'm Marina Franzmann, a creative designer specializing in brand visuals. Originally from southern Brazil and now based in Paris, I transitioned from a decade-long career in the fashion industry to focus on what truly fuels my creative passion. I thrive on collaboration and enjoy working closely with clients to bring their visions to life. Whether it’s developing a unique visual identity or elevating your brand's aesthetic, I’m committed to delivering designs that make a lasting impression.
From an early age, I was surrounded by creativity, deeply inspired by my father, an artist, who introduced me to the world of the arts. This early exposure fueled my lifelong passion for visual expression, from photography to painting and fashion design.
My formal journey began with a Bachelor's Degree in Fashion Design at Uniritter in Brazil in 2012, where I learned the technical skills needed to bring my creative visions to life. In 2013, I moved to New York City to study at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), focusing on styling, fashion marketing, and merchandising. New York’s dynamic atmosphere heightened my awareness of visual storytelling, which became a key element in my work.
In 2014, I expanded my skills with a Coolhunting course at the Institute European of Design in Brazil, learning to anticipate cultural shifts and trends, which helped me stay ahead in the fast-paced world of fashion.Art has always remained central to my journey, and in 2018, I embraced my love for it further by studying artistic drawing and oil painting at Atelier João Rodrigues in Portugal. This was a pivotal moment where I deepened my understanding of form, color, and expression, which continues to influence my approach to styling and design.
In 2020, I made a significant shift in my career to focus on graphic design and creative direction for brands. This transition felt natural, as it allowed me to combine everything I love—art, travel, marketing, and communication—into one role. It’s where I truly found my voice, applying my passion for visual inspiration, from my travels to my deep understanding of market trends, into creating cohesive and impactful brand identities.
Along the way, my international experiences also played a vital role in shaping my professional outlook. I studied Advanced English in Canada at SOL School in 2013, completed an Intensive Spanish course at Enforex in Spain in 2018, and in 2019, I studied Intensive French through a homeschool program in France. These language skills and cultural immersions have enriched my work, enabling me to communicate and connect with diverse audiences across different markets.
Today, I find joy in merging my inspirations—art, travel, and marketing—into my work as a designer and creative director, helping brands tell their stories in visually compelling and innovative ways.
Let’s work together and create something extraordinary.
