While climbing the corporate ladder, I also founded and scaled my own business, Marlie Renee Designs, a boutique creative studio that provided brand strategy and design solutions for clients across events, non-profits and small business. I led brand strategy, client and vendor relationships, and creative development, and managed a team of freelance designers and coordinators to help my business grow.
Marlie Renee Designs secured industry recognition, with work featured in top, national wedding publications including The Knot, Munaluchi Bride, Style Me Pretty, as well as featured as a subject matter expert for Brides Magazine, Bloomberg, Martha Stewart Weddings, and local podcasts Hoboken Creatives and Live Picture Studios.
