Hi there! I'm Mariale and I turn research into stories people can actually feel. Ready to create something together?

I'm a designer, illustrator, urban researcher and I turn research into stories people can feel.
With a background in Product Design (BA, University of Applied Sciences Aachen) and a MSc in Redesigning Post-Industrial Cities, a multidisciplinary programme across Germany, Ireland and the Netherlands; I work at the intersection of design, research, and communication.
My work is about taking complex ideas, data, and lived experiences and making them visible, legible, and compelling for broader audiences. I do this through illustration, data visualization, mapping, zines, booklets, websites, and audio storytelling. And moving between digital and physical formats depending on what the story needs.
I work with researchers, institutions, organizations, and communities who have something important to say and need help saying it in a way that reaches beyond the page.
If you have a project, a dataset, a report, or a research process that deserves a wider audience, I'd love to hear about it!
