who is marquardt+ We are interdisciplinary designers. Our passion is simply design. All of it. It is at the foundation of everything we do. We see the big picture and believe all realms of design interact with and influence one another. Design is an understanding, not an area of practice.

what we do This is an abbreviated list. We don’t limit ourselves to one field of design. We can be your complete solution, but are also accustomed to supplementing existing spaces, brands, etc. We don’t have to do it all, but we can.

experience Combined, we have over 90 years of experience. The people who make up our firm have diverse backgrounds and areas of study, from interior design to brand identity to product development. These distinct viewpoints have been collecting, melding and expanding within the walls of our open studio for 25 years. This allows m+ to have a comprehensive perspective that enables us to flourish across the wide spectrum known as design. Our process is an open dialogue with our clients. We get to know them, their brand and their goals. This means we are able to trim the fat and directly respond to the challenge in a concise, non-egocentric manner.

US sales and traffic have since increased. m+ continues to design marketing emails and write product press releases for Okamura. pictured, custom artwork created from existing product photography 10
