Most brands look good — few actually work. Studio.M bridges that gap.
We’re a Toronto-based boutique design studio working with clients worldwide to craft timeless brand identities, packaging, and websites.
Our process is built around problem-solving: uncovering what’s holding your brand back, clarifying your message, and designing systems that make every detail feel effortless and consistent.
Design that solves, not Just decorates.
What We Do
(and why it matters)
Every service is rooted in strategy. Because design without direction only adds noise — and your brand deserves better.
At Studio.M, we build brands that align strategy, design, and emotion — blending creative direction with purpose. Every decision is intentional, every detail supports your bigger picture. The result? A brand that’s timeless, distinctive, and built to scale.
Brand Strategy & Identity Design
We define who you are, who you serve, and how you stand apart. Then, we translate it into a cohesive visual identity — logo suites, color palettes, typography, and brand guidelines that bring consistency and trust.
Website Design & Development
Websites that convert — built on Squarespace, WordPress, or Shopify. We combine UX strategy and visual direction to create online spaces that look editorial and work seamlessly.
Creative Direction & Collateral
We extend your brand into the world — through photography direction, social templates, digital assets, and print design — so every touchpoint feels aligned and intentional.

About Studio.M
Where experience meets intention.
I’m Maryam — graphic designer, creative director, and founder of Studio.M.
After spending nearly a decade in the fashion and retail world, leading large-scale campaigns and rebrands, I realized what I loved most wasn’t just designing — it was helping businesses find their voice.
In 2023, I traded the corporate grind for creative freedom and built Studio.M — a boutique design studio based in Toronto, working with clients worldwide. My focus? Helping lifestyle, beauty, and service brands craft identities that feel as genuine as the people behind them.
I know what it’s like to build something from scratch — to pour heart, vision, and late nights into making it real. That’s why every project at Studio.M is deeply personal. It’s strategy-driven, design-led, and rooted in storytelling that actually connects.
When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me sketching new ideas over coffee, daydreaming about brand concepts, or sharing what I’ve learned with other creatives chasing their own version of freedom.
Studio.M is for the dreamers, doers, and detail-obsessed — those ready to build brands that last.
