Bio
Charlotte Kemp - Futures Alchemist
Marelise, thank you for your incredible logo and brand redesign for PSASA. You read our minds and hearts and produced something that everyone loves! I have never seen a logo be so completely embraced and causing so much excitement. Well done!
Yoke van Dam / Kintsugi Queen-Leadership and team expert
Marelise is an excellent designer and takes the time to truly understand her client's needs. I have had quite a few designs done by her, and I'm always happy. It took us some time to understand my style, and now that she has it-its quick and easy. Spend the time with her, for her to get to know what you like, and you can have a long-term partnership with Perkolate Design Studio. She does excellent work. Thank you Marelise! May your business thrive.

We were fellow students at The Open Window School of Visual communication at the beginning of the century. Marelise has a sunny disposition and lots of enthusiasm for illustration and graphic design. What I have seen of her recent illustration work shows a unique style emerging - one that is cheeky and fun!
