About Me!

Range of Picture of Abi Marsden Creative Force Behind Marsden Makes Co. Creative branding and personalised design business, Marsden Makes Co. Based in Cumbria

I’m the creative force behind Marsden Makes Co. I have a BA (Hons) in Graphic Designer, won Branding Agency of the Year 2026 winner, wife for over 14 years, mum to three wild & wonderful boys and someone who genuinely loves helping people bring ideas to life.

After graduating with a degree in Graphic Design, I spent years working within the design and print industry, helping businesses communicate through branding, print and marketing materials

Over time, I realised the projects I loved most weren’t simply about creating artwork. They were about helping people feel proud of their business and confident enough to share it with the world.

That passion eventually became Marsden Makes Co.

Today, I work directly with businesses across Cumbria and the UK, helping them create branding and graphic design that reflects who they are, what they do and where they want to go.

Let's work together

Design with Meaning,

Made for You!

I work with businesses and individuals who want design that truly represents them - not something pulled from a template or a trend but something built from their story, their values and their “why.”

Every project starts with a conversation. I take time to really listen and understand your vision, your goals and what makes your brand unique. From there, we create something that doesn’t just look good — it feels right.

Here’s how it all comes together:

1. LET’S CHAT

We talk about your vision, your goals and your ideas

2. DESIGN MAGIC

I create concepts filled with care, creativity and strategy

3. REVIEW & REFINE

Check everything over - I’ll break and polish until it’s just right.

At the heart of everything are three simple values:

Family Is Everything

Building a business should support the life you want to live, not take away from it.

Living and working in Cumbria has shaped how I approach design and business. Cumbria is filled with passionate small businesses, independent makers, community organisations and ambitious entrepreneurs who care deeply about what they do.

That sense of community, creativity and authenticity influences every project I work on. While many of my clients are based across Cumbria and the North West, I also work with businesses throughout the UK who are looking for thoughtful branding, graphic design and creative support.
