about

hey, i'm marley.

designer based in chattanooga, tn. i make brands, websites, printed things, and the occasional illustration — usually for people who'd rather not have to think about all of that themselves.

why design

design is the part of work that feels like play.

i started messing around in design software way before i knew what i was doing, and never really stopped. every project is a puzzle where the answer also has to look good — that combination keeps me interested.

i like making real things for real people. logos that look right on a truck door. websites that load fast on a phone in a parking lot. flyers that people actually keep. craft for the world that exists, not the awards show.

what i do

one set of hands, four+ specialties.
