About Designed by Maryann

Design that makes a difference - For causes, communities, and campaigns that matter.

Designed by Maryann is the go-to graphic design studio for communications professionals and marketers who need purposeful, high-quality design that delivers on message and on time.

I’m Maryann — a graphic designer with over 7 years of experience, including nearly 8 years working in-house within the public sector. I know how things work: the fast turnarounds, the need for consistency, the stakeholder input, and the pressure to get results. That’s why I make the creative process easy and collaborative. With a focus on what really matters… real impact.

With a BA in Graphic Media and Communications and a background spanning branding, print, digital and large-format design, I’ve led and delivered work that changes behaviours, improves outcomes, and strengthens communities.

Design that delivers change

I’ve worked with:

  • NHS Dorset to deliver award-winning vaccination and medicines waste campaigns (to name a few!)

  • Councils, charities, and researchers to build trust through impactful, accessible branding and design that tells there story

  • Regional health awareness initiatives that improved public engagement.

  • Complex brand identity systems for researchers and non-profits.

  • Youth-led, co-designed brands and campaigns that truly connect with younger audiences.

In 2022, I launched Designed by Maryann to bring this expertise to small businesses, community groups, research teams, and mission-led organisations who want to make a difference and need design that works as hard as they do.

Design backed by purpose, built on experience

With real in-house insight and a commitment to social impact, I bring strategic thinking, professional polish, and a practical understanding of how to get things done. From briefing to sign-off, I’m a designer who speaks your language and delivers work you can take straight to stakeholders with confidence.

Whether it’s a public health campaign, a rebrand, or an urgent rollout, I’m here to help you create design that connects and communicates.

If you’re a comms pro or marketer looking for a reliable creative partner who gets it — you’ve found her.
