Hi, I’m Marlena Cannon. I believe stories are spells. Whether they’re woven with words, pixels, ink, or yarn—they change how we see, feel, and move through the world. I make things that are meant to do that. Sometimes it’s a novel. Sometimes it’s a website. Sometimes it’s a rabbit sticker.
On the art & design side:
I’ve been building websites professionally since 2006, and earned a Master’s in Web & Interactive Media in 2014. I love transforming messy ideas into beautiful, intuitive experiences. Explore some examples on this site or visit my portfolio on Behance.
On the writing side:
In 2023, I completed the DIY MFA program. That’s where I drafted The Vanishing Castle, a cozy mystery starring a centaur safety inspector who just wants everyone to follow the rules and not die in a preventable magical mishap.
If you’re into storytelling that blends digital and traditional, magical and mundane, you’re in the right place.
