Who makes this web site: Marnie.
Who took this picture? Ralph Brescia. With a Hasselblad. And Film. That is Marnie's office, for now. She moves it every time she has a block. Like yesterday. She is currently working at a “bed desk” while sitting on a meditation cushion in the middle of a bed. It’s so good.
Marnie Aulabaugh’s career spans 25 years working in design, marketing, advertising, and related fields with a wide range of clients and industries — from startups to Fortune 500 companies. Employers over the years include The Wall Street Journal (Marketing Manager, 1993 - 1997), Opts Ideas (creative director, 1997 - 1999), freshbait (owner/founder/creative director, 2000 - 2006), and Marnie & Co., Inc. (owner/founder/creative director, 2007 - 2014). Other jobs she has excelled at since she was 16: travel agency delivery person, janitor, video store clerk, aerobics instructor, university party photographer, teachers’ assistant, The Limited retail sales person, and Girl Scout Troop Leader (10 years). Marnie is a gear-head (see @carmalarky, tiny haiku reviews of cars), and is currently known among a certain group of teenage girls as “the mom who curses.” She is also a breast cancer survivor, book author, mom of one, wife, and full-time human. She has a Little Free Library (@baxterstreet_lfl), founded a non-profit to save the world at least once-a-month (Knitting Socks, 2015 - 2019), and is mentored by a Havanese dog named TOD.
Educated in Ventura, California and Melbourne, Florida public schools, Marnie simultaneously earned two degrees (Bachelor of Science in Advertising and Bachelor of Arts in Literature, 1988 - 1993) from the University of Florida. She has called Atlanta, San Francisco, and sometimes, Florida, home. She currently resides in Los Angeles.
Marnie has created logos, brochures, stationery systems, book covers, book insides, package design, presentation materials, small-run publications, print and online advertising, invitations, trade show graphics and booth design, signage, and wine-tasting rooms. She still geeks out on creative brainstorming, name development, photography, pottery on the wheel, press checks (the smell of fresh ink!), architecture, great design, UI, AI, languages, and all of the words. She can speak Hungarian like a precocious four-year old.
