about us
inside OUR 5 step Approach
I’m Marielle Whisenant, a graphic designer from Detroit, Michigan, and the founder and creative director behind Mari Method. A Savannah College of Art and Design alumna with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design and a minor in Advertising and Branding, I’m passionate about branding, strategy, and bringing ideas to life through thoughtful, intentional design.
Driven by a belief that strong brands are built through clarity, purpose, and strategy, I approach each project with a collaborative, process-driven mindset. Through the Mari Method framework, I guide founders from early discovery to refined visual identity—creating brands that not only look cohesive but communicate meaning and grow with the businesses they represent.
