Featured · Memorial design

Made first for my grandmother. Now for yours.

Betty Marshall taught me to make things by hand. After she passed, I designed a 24-page tribute magazine with her whole life in it. It's the reason this part of my practice exists.

About

Azareah York (Marshall)

Atlanta-raised, SCAD-trained, and shaped by a grandmother who painted. I've spent five years translating complex ideas into clear print and presentation design for enterprise clients, and the rest of my time drawing people one dot at a time. York is the name I make under. Marshall is the family I make for.
