Portrait of Mariam

Mariam Pirtskhelani

Brand & Digital Designer

Hi, I’m Mariam.
Design with a personal touch.

I design brand identities, campaigns, packaging and illustration for engineering firms, tech companies and even Georgia’s national basketball team. Clear ideas, made with care.

  • About me

    I listen first,
    then design.

    Let’s talk

    I’m a brand and visual designer who has worked across Switzerland and Georgia. I led brand and design at Nexxiot, a Zurich-based tech company, and before that worked at Bank of Georgia, one of the country’s leading banks. I also co-founded Detect Studio.

    I care about the business behind the design, not just how it looks. I’m easy to reach, quick to respond, and I take ownership of the work.

    “Mariam is an exceptionally capable and versatile designer with excellent taste, strong intuition and a genuine commitment to quality.”

    “I had the pleasure of working closely with Mariam during her time supporting Nexxiot, where she took on considerable responsibility across our brand, design and visual communications.

    Mariam is an exceptionally capable and versatile designer with excellent taste, strong intuition and a genuine commitment to quality. Her work consistently demonstrated an international standard of creativity, precision and professionalism, whether developing brand assets, presentations, marketing materials or more complex visual communications.

    What particularly impressed me was her ability to understand the bigger picture, anticipate requirements and take initiative. She brought much more than design skills to the relationship, contributing valuable judgement, thoughtful advice and a level of care and attention to detail that made a real difference.

    Mariam is highly responsive, dependable and comfortable taking ownership of important projects. She significantly strengthened our creative capabilities while maintaining consistency and quality across a wide range of activities.

    Above all, she combines excellent creative instincts with a strong sense of responsibility and a genuine desire to deliver outstanding work. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mariam to any organisation looking for a talented designer and trusted creative partner.”

    “What makes her truly exceptional is something I rarely see in designers: a deep understanding of business, not just design.”

    “Working with Mariam has been nothing short of spectacular. She has designed multiple decks for us that have directly contributed to raising funding and closing deals.

    What makes her truly exceptional is something I rarely see in designers: a deep understanding of business, not just design. There are plenty of talented designers with great creative taste, but very few who can understand the underlying business, identify what actually matters, and translate complex ideas into a clear, compelling narrative. Mariam does exactly that.

    She is incredibly precise, thoughtful, and consistently delivers beyond expectations. I cannot recommend her highly enough, especially to founders and businesses where great design needs to drive real outcomes.”

    ★★★★★

    “I had an excellent experience working with Mariam on our presentations. She consistently went above and beyond simply executing the brief, proactively thinking along, contributing her own ideas, and understanding the bigger picture.

    Her sense of design, especially when it comes to colour combinations, visual consistency, and overall presentation aesthetics, is outstanding. The quality of her work is exceptional, and she has a fantastic eye for detail.

    Beyond her creative skills, Mariam is extremely punctual, reliable, and professional. Communication and collaboration were always smooth, and deadlines were consistently met.

    I can wholeheartedly recommend Mariam to anyone looking for a talented UI Designer who combines outstanding design skills with initiative, reliability, and a highly professional way of working.”
