A letter we have been excited to write
Congratulations,
Theo.
Dear Theo Alvarez,

From the day you joined Marigold you have made everything around you better — sharper, warmer, more itself. The Honeyhive rebrand, the Verde packaging system, the way you quietly mentored every junior who sat near you: that is the work of a leader, and it is time your title said so. It is my absolute joy to promote you to Art Director.

What you'll lead

As Art Director you'll own the creative direction of our brand team — setting the visual standard across identity, packaging, and campaign work, and signing off on every project that leaves the studio. You'll lead our three brand designers, mentor the next class of juniors, and sit with me in the new-business pitches you've already been quietly winning. The studio's look is, from now on, yours to shape.

I cannot wait to see what the studio becomes with you at the helm of the work. Take the win — you've more than earned it — and then let's go make something beautiful. Congratulations, Theo.

With pride and gratitude,
Marigold Reyes

P.S. The whole studio is taking you to lunch on Friday — your title's new, but the celebration is on us.
