marleysmonsters

Hi, I am Marley's mom.
I started Marleys Monsters while on maternity leave from my career as an interior designer, waiting for the arrival of my first baby girl in January of 2013. I have always had a passion for making anything and everything, so I knew that I wanted to make Marley something special before she was born. I decided that this project would be a stuffed monster. I pulled my dusty sewing machine out of the closet and taught myself how to use it. I really hadn't sewn anything since I was a little girl, and never fully understood the ins and outs of working a sewing machine. But after hard work, dedication and trial and error, Marley's first monster was born. After the monster I just kept going. I started making Marley everything she needed, always with sustainability and reusability in mind. Throughout the baby years, I tried product after product and learned what I liked and didn't like about each one, before designing the version I liked best. Every recommendation or new product request from my customers also helped us to grow into what Marleys Monsters is today. As my shop grew, I realized that my passion for being hands on and making things while taking care of Marley was worth pursuing, so I left my job the summer of 2014 to follow my dreams and pursue Marleys Monsters and Marley.

In 2016 we welcomed our baby boy Fox into the world! At that point we were able to use all of our products once again and develop them even more. My husband Chad was even able to leave his job in 2017 because of our expansion and development of our wood product line. (He's our handy man and woodworker around here!) Through having two children in a world full of disposables, I've realized the importance of lowering our waste with multi-functional products on both an environmental aspect and cost savings.

Over the last year we have had the amazing opportunity to build a wonderful team to facilitate in-house production. We wouldn't be here today without every single one of our team members. We have way too much fun every day, but our most important task is to hand-make the highest quality of product for our customers.

Thank you to all of you who are making such a positive impact on our environment!
