Our Origin
Mary Creative, founded in 2019 by Ashlé Colston, emerged as a beacon of change in a stagnant industry that failed to adequately represent women of color. With an unwavering determination to forge her own path, Ashlé embarked on a journey that was fueled by a burning passion to challenge the status quo.

After pursuing a creative degree and immersing herself in the industry, Ashlé witnessed firsthand the glaring disparity that plagued the design world. Shockingly, it became appallingly clear that Black women accounted for less than 3% of the entire design industry—a statistic that struck a chord deep within Ashlé's soul. She knew that this insufficiency was unacceptable, and she could no longer bear to stand idly by.
Driven by a relentless pursuit of change, Ashlé set out to create an environment that would empower, uplift, and amplify the voices of minority female creatives. Thus, the birth of Mary Creative—a revolutionary digital design agency exclusively catering to women of color. With a steadfast commitment to crafting and enhancing your brand, Mary Creative stands firmly at the forefront of a movement that reshapes the narrative of underrepresented creatives.
