PHILOSOPHYTo Margie, design is an invitation to leave a smaller footprint while creating a lasting impact. It’s about reshaping not only objects but the very way we engage with them, considering how they will be experienced now and treasured long after. She believes each piece is part of an evolving archive of responsible creativity—testaments to our shared responsibility to design with the planet in mind.

“As a teen, I’d pore over magazines and Shel Silverstein books, captivated by the bold visuals and quirky illustrations. Now, that same passion fuels my work in graphic design and illustration, letting me create pieces that echo those early inspirations and bring fresh ideas to life.”
