What is your business bliss? What does it look like, smell like, taste like, feel like? We can help bring your business into the minds of customers and bring those customers.

We can help you peel away the layers of stats, logistics, and results to uncover the emotional tangibles that customers and readers want to walk away with. Together, we’ll dust off the excess, use a little elbow grease to uncover the shine -the unique BLISS- you want to share with others. In doing so, we’ll help you love your business even more.

Your target audience is waiting for you to bring them to that “a-ha!” moment that only you and your business can bring. We’ll help them build the emotional memory they will hold onto and associate with your brand forever. More importantly, we’ll help ensure that the story they tell their friends about your business, product, service, event, or idea is your truth, as it is meant to be told.

Client Bliss

Marlynn did an absolutely wonderful job designing my logo and business cards. She took the time to learn about my business, what I like, and what I was looking for. Marlynn is great to work with!   -Angela Russell, attorney at law

“Few designers are able to unearth to the essence of an organization and then represent it visually. Marlynn of Urban Biss doesn’t impose her personal design aesthetic, but rather uncovers an organization’s brand and then creates marketing pieces that really ‘pop.’ Plus, she is a joy to work with.”   -Sunshine Morrison Principal, Radiance Communications

“For years, I was somewhat hesitant to hand out my business cards at networking events. My organization has grown phenomenally, but our design was stuck in the past. Urban Bliss re-designed our corporate identity and the results are truly amazing. I am absolutely delighted and recommend them highly.”   -Scott Badger President, KPI Direct

“I was extremely pleased with the identity that Marlynn & co. created for my business. My new look is everything I was hoping it would be — arsty, elegant, imaginative, and appealing to my target market. And she did it all in record time and within budget. I highly recommend Urban Bliss’s design services!” -Joy Novak, Novak Piano

“Marlynn was hired to create advertising and promotion pieces for my real estate business. Her creativity and detailed knowledge of design allowed her to provide me with exactly what I was looking for. Marlynn is very prompt and conscience with her work and I will be using her again, as well as recommending her to other professionals.”   -Francesca Novak, Realtor

“Upon meeting Marlynn in 2006, I knew she had an eye for style. I hired Urban Bliss to design marketing materials and invitations for my Baby Boot Camp franchise four times. The results were perfect each time. Marlynn took the time to truly understand what message I wanted to relay, and continued to do so with every event. Upon launching my new business in 2009, there was no other person I wanted to work with to help formulate my new design plan. Marlynn has continued to be genuine in learning my ever-evolving business, and how it shines best. I can not say enough about how wonderful working with Marlynn was, is, and will continue to be. She truly is a gem.” -Erin Shirey, Owner, Power Fitness PDX
