I'm Marlinde, the founder and designer behind Storymuse

A design studio and template shop for creatives and founders who want their online home to feel as intentional as the work they pour into it.

You know that feeling when you land on a website and instantly think, “This is who I’ve been looking for.”

That’s what a great first impression does. It builds trust before a single conversation. It makes your business unforgettable, not just for what you offer, but for how you make people feel from the very first click.

That’s the heart of Storymuse: curating the stories, moments, and moods that make your brand one-of-a-kind—and pairing them with smart strategy to build a website that tells and sells at the same time.

I’m the type who always has a million tabs open (in both Google and my brain), whose calendar is colour-coded but often not used, and who needs pretty surroundings to make me feel like I'm living inside my Pinterest boards.

I live for late-night design sparks, another Gilmore Girls rewatch, and that perfect moment when a new template homepage finally feels right.

My Notes app is full of story ideas, half-written captions, canvas tweaks, and lists of things I maybe want to turn into a business someday. I once attended London Fashion Week in my blogger era, I have a camera roll filled with aesthetic photoshoots of my cat, and I believe that dessert should never be skipped (especially sticky toffee pudding).

I’m obsessed with good fonts, editorial design styles, European summers, moody colour palettes, and nostalgic rom-coms. My friends & family would say I’m thoughtful, wildly ambitious, a little sarcastic, always honest and the one who’ll send many “this made me think of you” messages but will still prefer to call over texting back and forth.

My clients would say I understood their brand even better than they did and that everything clicked into place after working together. (Also, they now pull up their website link like it’s their favourite playlist.)

Now for a little more than the official “designer, founder, creative” intro
