The medium doesn’t matter.

Print or digital – I like them all.

This is me!Hello. I’m Marina Luderer, seasoned Creative Director and UI Visual Designer with experience in Europe and the United States. I love to create solutions that touch and involve people. No matter what it is. An ad, a website or a banner.

My passion for design began in print two decades ago and quickly jumped to digital after I designed my first website. Since then I’ve been creating unique experiences that live at the intersection of physical and digital worlds.

A FEW THINGS ABOUT ME, IN ORDER OF IMPORTANCE

I live in San Francisco.
I worked in Frankfurt for ten years.
I grew up in Germany. And yes, I have the German trade of being organized.
I’m a graphic designer by trade but I have also been known to write a headline here and there.
I enjoy rolling up my sleeves and getting into the nitty gritty of design.
I like to work with others.
I like to wear many hats. Life is more interesting that way.
I’m an early bird.
I can make a killer pork roast.

What others have to say

  • I have used Marina to design and develop my new companies web site and corporate identity. I am exceedingly happy with the quality of her work and highly professional ethos in getting things done by a deadline. Above all else her creative talents are second to none and she has helped deliver the identity for Squeeze Technology that I originally had in my head and more. She took me through all phases of the process quickly and easily making suggestions and recommendations for my industry that she had researched. From initiation to final delivery and I couldn't be more happy. You will not regret using Marina Luderer's services for any of your design and creative requirements and you will benefit from many years of her global experience.

    Elliot Lawrence, CEO Squeeze Technology

  • Marina is a creative professional who has consistently delivered top quality work – direct mail, collateral, advertising and web solutions – the list goes on. As Chief Operating Officer of Winning Directions, I’ve worked directly with Marina for over 6 years and in that time she has impressed me with her ability to think creatively and constructively. She immerses herself into every job and strives to exceed expectations. In the fast-paced environment of political campaigns, I relied on her to lead the staff artists, deliver on time and keep her humor. I would work together again in the future and I wish her nothing but success. I recommend Marina enthusiastically.

    Peter Moran, Owner at PJM Creative

  • It is with great please and enthusiasm that I am writing this recommendation on behalf of Marina Luderer. Her artistic talent and technical knowledge, an unusual combination, have been central to products and projects she has worked on with me over the last several years. Marina made significant contributions to the design and development of the digital edition of @GAMER, the custom-published magazine created for Best Buy, and for the newsletters created for Riverbed Technologies. Her technical knowledge made her designs efficient, and her marketing acumen made them effective. She is a self-starter and team player, and is diligent in asking for what she needs to produce great solutions and results. I recommend Ms. Luderer without reservation.
