Wzgd (What’s good?), and welcome to prettyMARS1991x. I’m Mars (short for Marshiana) — designer, creative thinker, storyteller, and the founder behind this little corner of the internet. If you’re anything like me, life probably hasn’t followed the neat little timeline you imagined when you were younger. Maybe you’ve rebuilt yourself after divorce. Maybe you’re balancing motherhood with your own dreams and identity. Maybe you’re learning that it isn’t selfish to create a life that belongs to you, too. This space was created for women living in that in-between place: rebuilding, rediscovering, creating, and becoming. For years, creativity has been my way of making sense of the world. Branding, graphic design, web design, digital art, writing, and visual storytelling have all become pieces of the language I use to express ideas and help other people tell their stories.
prettyMARS1991x is where all of those worlds come together. Here you’ll find: Behind-the-scenes looks at my creative process. Thoughts on branding and design for small businesses and personal brands. Updates on creative projects I’m building. Resources for women creating businesses and identities that reflect who they are now. Honest conversations about creativity, motherhood, reinvention, and building a future on your own terms. One of my biggest goals is growing into a freelance designer who helps entrepreneurs and creatives build brands that feel authentic, intentional, and impossible to ignore. I’m especially passionate about helping women who are starting over, pivoting careers, launching passion projects, or finally giving themselves permission to pursue the things they’ve been putting off for years.
Whether that’s a business, a website, a brand, a painting, a book, or simply a new version of yourself — I’m rooting for it. This blog is only the beginning. There are creative projects in the works, ideas waiting to become reality, and plenty of lessons I’ll be learning along the way. I hope you’ll stick around for all of it. Before you go, I’d love to meet you. Drop a comment below and share your website address, portfolio, shop, blog, or passion project. Tell me what you’re creating, what you’re rebuilding, or what you’re dreaming about these days. Let’s build something beautiful together. — Mars Founder & Creative Behind prettyMARS1991x
