ABOUT ME: Hi! I'm Ria-Mari Truter
I am a multi-disciplinary designer with a passion for brands and strategy.
With more than 12 years experience in the creative field, I’ve worked with local and world renowned brands like Ohorongo Cement, Interpack, Nedbank, Red Bull and Lindt.
I value transparency and honesty in both business and personal life.
I will help you strategically position your brand online so that you have more time to spend with family, growing your business or doing whatever else floats your boat.

EXPERIENCE
I have 13+ years of experience in graphic design. I finished my Advertising and Design Certificate in 2007 and started doing freelance design shortly after.
While I do any graphic design, my focus is definitely on brand design (including logo design, corporate identities and brand guides).
I’ve worked in almost all design industries, including general graphic design, brand design, signage, web design and packaging design.
I became interested in brand strategy in 2017 and started reading, learning and researching it for over 7 years. My biggest achievement was when I got the honour of doing a full strategy for Interpack’s NAwaa products. From brand strategy to logo and look and feel, NAwaa Yogy Shake and NAwaa Mageu were a joy to work on.
IMAGINE IF YOU COULD:
Take your brand to new heights by getting clarity about who you are and what you believe in. Dive past the superficial layer and get to know your brand from the heart.
+ ATTRACT YOUR PERFECT CLIENT
Sometimes there are those types of clients you just don’t want. We all know them, right? Wouldn’t it be great if you instead attract clients you actually like, pay well and better yet, keep coming back?
+ STAND OUT IN THE CROWD
Breaking through the noise in today’s world is a huge challenge. A lot of people are doing what you do, so how do you let people know to buy your product, or use your service instead of your competition’s?
+ LET YOUR BRAND WORK FOR YOU
When your brand speaks for itself and you attract the right client, you have more time to do what you actually love. It might be spending time with family and friends, or getting to do that hobby of yours at last. All it takes is a bit of work and strategy.
Strategic Creativity. Heartfelt Results.
ARE YOU READY TO RISE ABOVE THE NOISE?
You can become known as the expert in your field with a well-executed website and social media strategy. Add a good dose of brand consistency and you will stand out like the proverbial sore thumb.
