HI, I'M MAREË

The Face Behind The Designs

I am the founder of Studio Rugha, a Rotterdam-based branding agency working with ambitious startups and growing businesses worldwide.

My passion for design, which started at a young age by endlessly experimenting in Photoshop was simply undeniable. As a proudly self-taught designer, I evolved my skills across UI/UX and graphic design over the years.

What started as a creative side-hustle working with diverse clients on freelance platforms, turned into a serious mission in 2020 when Studio Rugha was born.

Rugha means ROAR

a symbol of presence, confidence and being seen

FINDING YOUR

ROAR!

To me, design is so much more than just creating a pretty logo. I noticed that many founders struggle with limited resources, relying on generic DIY tools that fail to capture their unique story. Studio Rugha exists to bridge that gap.

It’s about finding your unique 'Roar'. The name Rugha is a nod to the Spanish word for 'roar', inspired by my fascination with the powerful, unapologetic presence of lions.

That is the exact energy I want to inject into your business: a brand identity that empowers you to stop whispering and start roaring.
