Marla is deeply rooted in honesty and purity in resolution. She feels this is the foundation of all human psychology. All choices demand reactions which is her definition of Design. Just as the Universe knows when to open the skies to let in just enough light, as the flowers know when to open to receive it to bloom and as the branches know upon restraint when to release the seeds back to it’s origin; so is the balance of nature, of life, of creation.  Balance is Marla’s natural gift. Her modesty and appreciation for truth within objects and spaces allows a congruency that is effortless, a sigh of relief.  Marla has worked in a vast spectrum of exclusive places that’s allowed integration of knowledge and of self; to electrify thought and reason within the senses. She believes that Design has no edges, no ending; it is a necessary constant. Her passion to strive for excellence has led her to a myriad of Design forces.
