Hi, I'm Marion
I’m the freelance web designer behind Mythwood Creative. I create websites that reflect my clients’ work, values and goals.
By focusing on purpose from the very beginning, I ensure every site feels considered, cohesive and deeply aligned with your needs.
My approach
My approach is thoughtful, empathetic and tailored to each individual project.
I think far beyond the launch date and bring strategic thinking and meticulous attention to detail to every decision and design choice.
Services
I offer two main ways of working together on your website, depending on how involved you want to be after it goes live. I can also help with visual branding.
Monthly plans
Website + ongoing care
I’ll create your website, then look after the hosting and technical side once it’s live, with ongoing support based on your chosen plan.
You do not need to manage the site yourself. I’ll take care of it for you.
One-off project
Website + handover
I’ll create your website and set up the hosting for you. Once the site is live, I’ll do a handover and you take over the ongoing management.
You’ll do ongoing maintenance, updates and renewals yourself.
Branding support
Consistent visuals
I’ll help you create a cohesive look and feel for your business that’s consistent across your website and other materials.
You don’t need to hire a big agency. I’ll help you get started.
Why your website matters
Visibility. Trust. Opportunity.
Show who you are, not just what you do
Your website can reflect your personality, story and values.
Design choices like colour, layout, language and visual style all contribute to creating a feel that matches who you are. Like mine reflects my love of fantasy, nature and colours.
Are you a business owner?
Build trust and grow your reach.
A proper website makes you look professional, helps customers find you and gives them confidence to buy from you. It’s a place to tell your story, show what you offer and turn interest into action. Your website is often a key tool to reach your business goals.
Do you lead a research group?
Stand out and attract funders and collaborators.
A clear, up-to-date website helps showcase your research, highlight your team and publications, and support funding, recruitment and outreach.
It also gives future collaborators, students and funders an easy way to learn what you do and why it matters.
Are you a solo professional?
Show your work and make it easy to hire you.
A well-made website gives you credibility, helps potential clients understand what you do and lets you highlight your best work all in one place and on your own terms. It turns “I do this thing” into “here’s who I am, what I offer and how to work with me.”
Portfolio
Examples of my work
Haapaniemi Lab
- Research group
- Website + monthly plan
The brief
Haapaniemi Lab needed a digital home that moved away from traditional clinical styles. The goal was to create a modern, credible presence that balances complex genomic research with the human stories behind the science.
The solution
- Organised research & growth: presenting publications with clarity while highlighting team members to attract future talent and partners.
- Strategic credibility: showcasing funders and collaborators to reinforce the lab’s professional impact and research authority.
- The living lab: showcasing the team and news to bridge the gap between complex science and the people making it happen.
Sahu Lab
- Research group
- Website + ad-hoc support
The brief
With research spanning two cities, Sahu Lab required a digital space capable of organising extensive data into a clear, accessible structure. The priority was a scalable system that the team could manage independently as their work evolved.
The solution
- Scalable architecture: a robust, intuitive home for research data and publications, designed to grow alongside the lab’s multi-location portfolio.
- Frictionless publishing: a straightforward dynamic system for sharing news and updates without the need for technical expertise or design tweaking.
- Independent stewardship: sustainable back-end structures that empower the team to manage their own content with consistency.
Luovasivubisnes
- Solo professional
- Website + monthly plan
The brief
Built on a restrictive template that no longer matched the brand’s ambition, this site needed a complete refresh. The goal was to move from a “dated” feel to a flexible, professional platform that could support a growing blog and a future online store.
The solution
- Bespoke modernisation: a visual and structural refresh where a restrictive template was replaced with a flexible, professional brand presence.
- Streamlined publishing: a custom backend framework that allows the client to manage blog and store content instantly without compromising the design.
- Strategic growth: a foundation built for evolution, supported by ongoing work to develop the online store and launch future resources.
Love from my clients
“Working with Mythwood Creative has been seamless and enjoyable.”
Marion is responsive, friendly and clear in her communication, making the process feel straightforward. The website is easy to navigate and effectively showcases our work, helping us reach a wider audience and attract talented researchers.

Group Leader, Haapaniemi Lab
“Happy with the new look and system”
So much better than my previous, ready-made template. Marion helped me redesign the site to match the vibe I wanted for my business and blog. She also made updating posts and my shop products easy to manage directly from the backend of WordPress, instead of touching the theme design.
