Welfare of all.

In 1957, British historian Arnold Toynbee said that in the long sweep of history, the twentieth century would be remembered as "an age in which human society dared to think of the welfare of the whole human race as a practical objective." This idea, in a way, is an enlarged view of the power of design and the heart behind what we do at Marion Design Co. 

As human beings, we like to think of ourselves as the center of the universe. However, when we take the time to humbly understand our place in the universe, we find it brings more joy to consider the well-being of others before ourselves. According to well-known graphic designer Bruce Mau, “The fundamental idea of design is to make the world a better place.” It’s with this perspective, considering the welfare of all life, that Marion Design Co. strives to approach every design solution and business decision we pursue. 

When we design for the welfare of all life, the parts we have control over should have no ugliness or death for us or for any life our lives touch. Everything we have learned in school and life has prepared us for a life of love. The work you love needs you. Real work needs optimism, passion, and beauty. It needs a kind of energy and commitment that only love can produce.
