A look at what I make

Different businesses.
Distinct identities.

Self-directed concepts that show my approach to websites, branding and promotion. Fictional businesses, with AI-generated imagery; no client results are claimed.

Marvel, the person behind MarvelVS Creative

Marvel / Your direct creative contact

Hospitality is where I’m coming from.

I know the work
behind a good night.

A shift needs a clearer handoff. A new manager needs support. An event needs a plan—and a promotion. I know how those things end up on your list.

My background is in restaurant and bar operations, private events and team support. MarvelVS Creative brings that practical perspective to creative work, daily operations and the decisions owners and managers have to make.

You work directly with me, whether we’re building a website, improving a team handoff or talking through your next move. Projects and consulting are handled online.

Let’s work on your list

How we work together

A clear plan.
Then, let’s make it.

Small projects are welcome. The scope, price and schedule are agreed before the work begins.

  1. 01 / The conversation

    Start with what you need.

    Send your goal, deadline and whatever you already have. I’ll help narrow down the useful next step.

  2. 02 / The plan

    Know what’s included.

    You get a written scope, a price and a schedule, including how we’ll handle feedback.

  3. 03 / The work

    Review. Refine. Put it to use.

    We work through the agreed feedback, then deliver your creative work or a practical action plan your team can use.

Built around your business

Your needs.
Your budget. A plan.

Every business is in a different place. Let’s start with a consultation about what you need, what matters most and what you’re comfortable spending.

Running an independent business means making every dollar count. Together, we’ll shape a realistic scope around your priorities and budget—whether that’s one useful project, ongoing support or a larger plan completed in stages.

You’ll know what’s included, what it costs and when it will be delivered before we begin. If the full wish list is more than you want to take on right now, we’ll work out what to tackle first.

Let’s Talk About Your Needs

Before we get started

A few practical
questions.

What does one-stop business support include?

Creative work, websites, content, promotions, business consulting and practical support for owners, managers and teams. You can bring one task or a wider list of needs; we’ll agree priorities, deliverables and pricing together. You don’t need a design project to ask for business advice. POS systems, installation and troubleshooting are excluded.

Can we work together from another country?

Yes. Projects are handled online, from the first brief to feedback and delivery. My production hours are Monday–Friday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Eastern; we’ll agree a schedule that accounts for your time zone.

Can you work on my existing website?

Send the link and tell me what platform you use. I’ll review what you want to change and what the platform supports before recommending a refresh, individual updates or a new build.

Do I need all my content ready?

Start with what you have: your logo, current website, menu, photos or even a rough outline. We’ll identify what’s ready and what still needs creating. Any additional writing, imagery or other work is agreed in the scope before production.

Your next project starts here

What’s on
your plate?

A rough idea or a business question is enough. Tell me what you want to create, what’s getting in the way, or where you could use a second opinion.
