Meet the
Dynamic Duo
Hearthforms was founded in 2022 by Naya (Left) and Marrio (Right) Elliott. As Cincinnati natives, Marrio brings a sharp strategic eye and years of experience leading creative teams, with a particular talent for turning complexity into clarity. While Naya is a creative director with a background in branding and a deep love for typography, systems thinking, and storytelling. Together, they started Hearthforms to create the kind of studio they always wanted to work for.

FAQs
Historically, the hearth was the center of a home—a place where people gathered around warmth and fire. It was where meals were prepared, conversations unfolded, and moments were shared. Ideas begin as sparks. Through thoughtful design, collaboration, and craft, those sparks are nurtured and shaped into tangible forms. At Hearthforms, we see our role as creating the environment where ideas can take shape—where vision, materials, and creativity come together to become something real.
