What I love about what we do, is that as commercially focused brand story tellers, we get to help businesses not only create something beautiful and of real value, but in the wake of Covid 19, we’re helping their businesses not only to adapt and survive - but to thrive! It drives me, and helps keep my passion focused on the clients needs.

Marta Emauz - Design Manager – Design Lead

Marta is an enthusiastic graphic designer and illustrator from Portugal, with a Graduate degree in Design and a specialization in Graphic Design.

She's an outgoing and curious person with a passion for design, art, and photography that prompted her to create and share her artwork through various formats, for the past 5 years.

Her artistic background provided her with the opportunity to work and adapt to many different types of creations - visual branding, logo creation, social media content, campaign visuals - working directly with completely different clients/brands and creating artwork for both commercial purposes as well as self-promotion, making her an ambitious creative, motivated and determined to bring all of your ideas to life and solve every problem with the best aesthetic design solutions.

 

The challenge that comes from a briefing full of complex ideas and also problems is what makes me love what I do - having the opportunity to simplify complex ideas and create visual concepts based on them, alongside the best team of creatives. At UBC, our goal is shared: making every project great and unique. As Don Draper (Mad Men) once said: "Make it simple, but significant".
