Raquel Maia Marques

I’m a designer in Oslo working across brand identity, illustration, editorial and digital design. With a focus on clarity, emotion, and detail, I use typography, colour and image to tell stories that connect.

Based in Oslo, collaborating internationally.

Testimonials




Raquel setter seg inn i sakene våre, stiller relevante spørsmål, og hever kvaliteten på det vi sender ut.


Jarle Eknes
Daglig leder, Stiftelsen HELT MED

HELT MED har samarbeidet med Raquel over flere år. Vi trengte en designer som kunne formidle et faglig krevende budskap – arbeidsinkludering for personer med utviklingshemming – på en tydelig og tilgjengelig måte. Raquel leverer godt håndverk til avtalt tid. Hun setter seg inn i sakene våre, stiller relevante spørsmål, og hever kvaliteten på det vi sender ut. Brosjyrer og informasjonsmateriell holder en standard som blir lagt merke til hos arbeidsgivere og samarbeidspartnere. Vi anbefaler henne gjerne.

Raquel doesn’t just create beautiful designs, she creates something that feels personal, meaningul and aligned with the person behind the brand.

 

Vanessa Carvalho
Founder of Waxing & Co and Flora Organics

Raquel carefully listened to my ideas and then translated them into a website that truly reflected my brand. It felt like she understood what I was trying to achieve, even when I wasn’t able to explain it perflectly myself. What makes her special is that Raquel doesn’t just create beautiful designs, she creates something that feels personal, meaningul and aligned with the person behind the brand. That’s a rare gift.

Every milestone was met, the revision process was smooth, and having all printer communication managed directly was an enormous added value.



Eleanor Smith
Writer, copywriter and photographer

Raquel delivered a book design that exceeded expectations in every respect. I already worked with Raquel for my first book and I wanted my second book to have the same feel as the first. Every milestone was met, the revision process was smooth, and having all printer communication managed directly was an enormous added value. Overall, it was a full-service experience, and I highly recommend working with Raquel.
