About

Portrait of Marcus Presse
Portrait of Marcus Presse

Over six years designing for startups, scale-ups, and established brands across Europe. I bring the same level of precision to a logo as to a full website build — because in good design, nothing is too small to matter.

Good design is not a service. It’s a decision. These are the areas where Marcus works — and where that decision matters most.

What clients say

Results matter more than process. Here's what working with Marcus actually looks like.

  • “Clear, calm, and exact. The site finally feels like the work.”

    Mira Ellison

    Creative director

    ·

    Northroom

  • “He edited more than he added. That was the whole point.”

    Jonah Hale

    Founder

    ·

    Hale & Quiet

  • “Marcus treated the publication like a piece of type, not a template. Every decision had a reason we could see.”

    Adele Voss

    Editor

    ·

    Paper Index

  • “Fast where it mattered, slow where it didn’t. The launch was quiet and the work held up.”

    Samir Adeyemi

    Producer

    ·

    Field Office

  • “We came in with too many references. We left with one idea and a site that could carry it.”

    Leona Park

    Brand lead

    ·

    Soft Archive

  • “The structure is quiet enough that the projects lead. Nothing on the page competes with them.”

    Noor Alami

    Principal

    ·

    Line Practice

  • “Most studios perform the process. Marcus stayed with the problem until the language was right, then built only what that language needed. The result is spare, and it still feels like us.”

    Helen Cho

    Director

    ·

    Kindred Press

  • “We expected a redesign. We got a clearer practice. The site is the smallest part of what changed, and it is the part people notice.”
