Hello there, I’m Ian Marder.

I was born in Toronto and raised in Halifax. Queen Street West crossed with the Hydrostone. I have a beautiful wife, daughter, and son.

I love photography, coffee, playing drums badly, and anything satirical. Jon Stewart coming back to The Daily Show in 2024 gave me life.

I’ve been obsessed with design my whole life. Art is impactful, beautiful, and connecting. Design takes those elements and gives them purpose. Adding purpose to my pirated copy of Photoshop 7 spoke to me in a way I didn’t expect.

If I really had the choice, I’d chase my kids around camera-in-hand 24/7.

I do this instead because I genuinely love helping people create things. I love asking weird questions and finding weirder answers.

I appreciate you taking the time to learn a little about me. Feel free to reach out anytime.

Cheers,

Ian
