"Maricae was a dream to work with. First of all, her fee is very reasonable and she made the whole process so easy for me.

I started with only a vague idea of my brand and she helped me concretize it and make it a reality!

Besides her really good artistic eye, what I appreciated the most was how she used my vision to create a brand personality that really resonated with what I want my business to evoke to consumers. She provided options that really captured the vibe I was going for. She was super easy to work with and always submitted revisions right away! In our one month contract, there was never a time wherein I felt lost or frustrated. In fact, working with Maricae was a really fun and enjoyable experience - I always looked forward to receiving her updates and seeing her work. She also provided some really good advice that, even if it was beyond the scope of her work, was very helpful. Super highly recommend Maricae and all the services she offers!"

"It was a pleasure working with Maricae, after browsing and checking with different brand stylists, Maricae was the one who nailed it. She was very patient, professional and willing to go that extra mile.

From logo concept, to print, digital, and signage design, everything was perfect and beyond expectations.

Thanks to her creativity and passion, my logo is EXACTLY what I wanted!"

"Listing down why I think Maricae is the best:

1. She is very professional. She explained the process thoroughly and I appreciated the brand concept reports that she prepared. When she says she will deliver on a certain date, she will follow through. She responds to queries and requests really quickly.

2. She is more than just a creative graphic designer, Maricae is a brand consultant with a sharp sense of business and marketing.

3. She listens to her client. I provided a rough idea of what I wanted, and Maricae listened, studied and totally captured the vibe and design I wanted. We didn’t have to go through major revisions because she got it right off the bat.

4. She is considerate and approachable. My brand is not major at all as it is just a personal passion project. Nevertheless, she engaged with me professionally and that made me feel at ease.

5. Her pricing is very reasonable. I thought my passion project budget wasn’t enough, but I was pleasantly surprised that it covered Maricae’s fees.

6. Her designs are AWESOME! I have believed from the start that branding plays a major role in a passion project business. Branding first before selling so that you get it right the first time. Maricae believes in that as well. She brought to life the concepts in my mind and her designs have really made a major impact on my project, business-wise."

"After meeting numerous designers, we connected with Maricae for our company logo.

She can understand and effectively visualize what you want, even when you are unable to clearly articulate it. Her experience in corporate branding definitely shows.

Maricae is easy to work with, professional, creative, and really talented. Needless to say, we were thrilled with the logo she created for us. Highly recommend."
