Hello, and welcome to m morian designs! Please feel free to browse our site, and let us know how we can help you build a presence on the web...

My name is Marcy Morian. Having completed the Kennesaw Internet Professional (KIP) Program at Kennesaw State University, I have learned the most up-to-date methods in web design, including interactive design and best practices for making websites "user friendly". I have developed my graphic design skills on a freelance basis for many years, and I enjoy seeing designs come to life on the web.

I have found that, while many business owners could truly benefit from having a website to promote their products and services, they find that the concept of hiring someone to create a website is intimidating. I would like to help remove that "fear of the unknown," and provide clients with the perfect web solution, large or small, customized to fit their needs.

I invite you to view my project portfolio below (best viewed in Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox), which represents the projects completed throughout the KIP program.
