***FEATURED PROJECTS***

All projects

"I needed help designing a brand for my new company. It was a challenging task - my partners and I did not know precisely what we wanted but we had strong opinions about what good looked like. Marielle and her team at Tributary did not disappoint. They worked efficiently and delivered everything as promised faster than expected. We're incredibly happy with the end result and will continue using Tributary as our brand evolves."

David Franzel

Partner and Co-Founde at Naxo

"Tributary design were an absolute dream to work with. They have rebranded our women-owned design and manufacturing agency. We are now having one of our busiest months ever and we are so happy with how everything turned out. They are SO great at communication and went above and beyond to give our brand the full facelift it needed! Thanks so much!"

Tilly Behbahany

Founder at Do Good Factory

"I've worked with Marielle consistently for almost 3 years. She did a whole rebrand for my company Curie, designing our packaging, website, merch, and everything in between. We got our products on the shelves at Nordstrom and Bloomingdales shortly after the rebrand :) Marielle is professional, responsive, and always delivers what we need on time. I couldn't recommend Marielle and the Tributary Design team enough!"

Sarah Moret

Founder & CEO at Curie

“Marielle fundamentally transformed branding for Aether. Not only is Marielle a best in class designer, she has many traits that make her a joy to work alongside. Her responsiveness, attention to detail, ability to keep track of many priorities while never (in 3 years) letting anything fall through the cracks come to mind. I can not recommend Marielle enough. She has profoundly altered the external impact I have been able to have as a company leader. She lends me credibility, polish, and the phenomenal superpower of distilling complex themes and narratives into visually appealing, easily digestible, branded, content.”

Danielle Landrein

Operations Lead, AETHER BIO

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Marielle for the past 3 years. She’s helped to define the visual brand of Pathstream and bring our materials to life. Marielle is an excellent communicator, I always know when something will be complete, and she’s very clear in communicating what she needs to be successful. She is also incredibly receptive to feedback. I’ve enjoyed iterating on projects with Marielle as she’s flexible and open to shifts in ideas and direction. Additionally, Marielle is an excellent designer. I love seeing the designs that Marielle produces. They are always clean, consistent with our brand, and elevate the content we are trying to convey.”

Lauren Pizer

VP of Learning Design, Pathstream

“I’ve been working with Marielle for a few years now and honestly can’t imagine what I would do without her. She’s helped me with everything from creating beautiful new sales decks and one pagers to defining and refining our brand and image. Most recently, she’s helped design and rebuild key pages on our website, helping bring a much needed facelift and brand consistency to help boost our digital presence.”

Celene Roberts

Marketing Manager, inDinero

Marielle is an absolute gem, and we loved working with her. She helped us with branding and design work for our purpose-driven biotechnology platform. Marielle was incredibly organized and clear about timelines, responsive to changes that we suggested, and just an expert in her art. She also has exceptional connections with other creatives (i.e. for brand photography local to our business), and made the process really seamless for our team.

Marielle and the Tributary team are absolutely A M A Z I N G. Working with Marielle has been an absolute pleasure. Her process was so helpful for someone who is new to running a business and the branding process. She helped me find my brand voice and has continuously been someone I want to work with over and over again. I will continue to work Marielle and encourage anyone considering to work with her to take the leap and do it. You will not regret it!
