Marrow Design

This year’s recap isn’t my work.
It’s my why.

In 2025, I built a slower, more sustainable version of Marrow—one designed to support my life, not compete with it. I chose margin over momentum, sustainability over scale, and in doing so gained more of what actually matters.

This is the version of Marrow I’m most proud of.

This year reminded me that success can be quiet—that a thoughtful no can be just as powerful as a yes. As I head into 2026, I’m carrying that same intention forward: building meaningful work, at a pace that doesn’t just leave room for life—but helps create it.

Maybe success looks different than we’ve been taught.

CPM Roundup — The Bold & Bright Ones!

When I started this series over two years ago, creating vibrant palettes was near painful for me. I stayed away from saturated colors like the plague. But as I challenged myself to step outside my comfort zone week after week, I discovered that I actually love creating bold and bright palettes!

PSA: there aren’t “good” colors and “bad” colors. All colors are good and useful, it’s just a question of context. And once that paradigm shift happened for me through CPM, it freed me to enjoy designing things I never thought I could.

…I’m probably still going to wear mostly black clothes, though.
