I had the privilege of working with Marteli in the edtech sector, focusing on brand design, and I can unequivocally state that she is one of the most talented designers I've ever encountered in my career.

Marteli's creative prowess is truly exceptional. Her ability to conceptualise and execute designs that catapult a brand years ahead of its time is nothing short of remarkable. Whether it's crafting a new visual identity, reimagining advertising collateral, or bringing innovative ideas to life, Marteli's work consistently exceeds expectations.

What sets Marteli apart is her versatility. She's equally at home with any design project, tackling each with enthusiasm and skill. Beyond her technical skills, Marteli brings a level of insight and strategic thinking to her work that elevates the entire brand experience. She doesn't just create beautiful designs; she creates impactful, meaningful visual solutions that resonate with audiences and drive results.

Marteli is a rare find in the design world - any organisation would be fortunate to have her on their team.

I have been fortunate to collaborate with Marteli for the past six years. In that period, I've been her manager for the past four years.

She is a remarkable leader, mentor and coach and is able to unlock potential in anyone in her team through gentle encouragement. She gives everyone in her team space to explore, problem-solve and innovate. She knows when to lean in and offer support and when to step back and give them the platform to own or lead projects.

She's pushed my thinking and helped reframe my perspective and I'm grateful to have had her as a thinking partner. She can hold the bigger picture and the detail and often knows what we need to do now to help us going forward. She's very innovative and pushes her team to think about how they can do things differently, how they can push their thinking and yet remain consistent with the brand and deliver within the brief.

She manages to balance people-led management with delivering results and is often thinking about what her team needs to thrive but also holds them accountable to deliver. She's action motivated and looks at what the team should be delivering and ensuring that tasks are moving along by removing blockers and understanding any challenges they are facing.

Marteli is one of those people you meet in life that will forever inspire you. I have been fortunate enough to work with Marteli in various capacities over the years. She has been a great thinking partner and collaborator.

Having worked in various creative fields she is constantly learning and growing in her career. Her wealth of knowledge, passion for good design, innate leadership skills has naturally placed her in a leadership position helping other creatives reach their full potential. Any team would be lucky to have her.

It has been my privilege to collaborate closely with Marteli for a duration spanning over two years. Marteli possesses an exceptional talent for dissecting intricate business challenges with a creative lens, seamlessly aligning them with overarching business objectives. Her capacity to navigate between strategic vision and granular details renders her an invaluable thinking partner.

Marteli's hunger for knowledge and understanding, coupled with her adept problem-solving skills, serves as a inspiration for all who cross paths with her on a daily basis.

I have no doubt that Marteli's multifaceted skill set, unwavering commitment to excellence, and innate ability to foster innovation make her an indispensable asset to any team or company.
