About

Brunella Augustin Marschner smiling by a window

Hi, I'm Brunella, and I started out designing brands, not products.

I began as an art director in Brazil, and for more than a decade I designed identities and campaigns, including at two small studios I started.

In 2018 I moved to Germany and designed interfaces for Behringer's digital mixing consoles, where every icon had to work on a small hardware screen. Then, in Luxembourg, I spent four and a half years at Talkwalker and Hootsuite as the sole designer on AI and analytics products used by global brands, working day to day with data scientists and engineers.

Now I'm in Sydney, looking for a team building AI, data or complex B2B products.

What I bring

Years of brand work taught me typography, hierarchy and visual systems. Product work taught me to apply them where the data is dense and the AI doesn't always behave the same way twice. I bring both to the same screen.

What I bring

Accessibility

I treat accessibility as part of the design, not a final check. At Talkwalker I rebuilt the chart palette into 10 colours chosen for contrast and checked with a Figma plugin, so dense dashboards stay readable for more people.

How I work

Turning complex requirements into clear, shippable product experiences.

01 Close to data science and engineering

I test designs against real model output and real data early, so what we design is something the product can actually deliver.

02 Research with the people who use it

Client discovery, interviews with customer success teams and usability tests shape what I design, not assumptions.

03 Connect, don't rebuild

I look for what the platform already does well and design the bridge to it, instead of rebuilding it inside a new feature.

04 Prototype fast

Figma for design, and rough code prototypes in Cursor and Lovable when an idea needs real interaction.
