Marlo Onilla, Principal

Devoid of ego Marlo is not your typical creative type. A staunch advocate of appropriateness of design, Marlo’s years of experience belie his youthful appearance. His passion for design is a reflection of his persona, and strives for excellence in all that he pursues.

An interdisciplinary designer, his disdain for mediocrity only reinforces his belief that we must exert oneself to initiate clients to look beyond the obvious-reject the mundane and explore the outer edges. Marlo approaches each given design without any preconceived notions dictated by any industry or discipline, and allows his interdisciplinary work to new territories through challenging collaborations with creative visionaries.

A design professional since 1995, Marlo has garnered numerous prestigious recognition for design excellence. His work has been featured in leading design publications such as Communication Arts, Advertising Design Club of Canada, Coupe, Applied Arts, and Print Magazine.
