MY HAPPY PLACE, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN IDEAS & STITCHES.
Made
by me.

A digital mind.
A maker’s hands.

A digital mind. A maker's hands. I turn ideas into content, brands into stories, and fabric into something you can wear.

I'm Marit, based in Ghent. My path went from Japanese studies to web design to lingerie design. Not exactly a straight line. But that's where the interesting things happen.

Today I run my own handmade clothing brand, maritomodachi, and I'm the freelance marketing manager at BlueMonks, a KYC and AML compliance company. Creative craft meets digital strategy. Both sides, all in.
