In summer of 2016, Marion Design Co. began as a result of three professors and seventeen other students wanting to see a change in the Marion community. MDCo is a community-based Creative Studio run by volunteers and professional designers with passion for human-centered design.
We were commissioned by the mayor to create a mark for the city and give it a new identity. This project consisted of multiple months of research including demographic analysis of the community and also in depth research of the history of Marion.
In addition to this we spent time investing in the people of the Marion community only to realize that it is the people who are our most valued resource in finding out what design decisions are best.
