More about Marion

Little Darkness was intended as a beacon for the parts of us that are unspoken for. With each publication, Marion draws from her own experience of self-exploration and accountability for internalized trauma. Her intention is to create gentle but powerful tools that cut right through the BS, each one exuding a playfulness that leaves room for humor and vulnerability.

French-born Marion spent several years in Paris and Berlin, before moving to California with her husband in 2020. She lives and works in Joshua Tree.

Environmental & SOcial Justice Statement

As a small business owner, I am committed to doing right by our planet and making responsible choices whenever I can. I kindly ask that you do the same and reuse, repurpose or recycle the packaging your order came in, if it is within your means.

  • Your package isย closed withย compostable andย recyclable water-activated tape.
  • Packaging stickers and tissue paper are printed on FSC certified acid-free paper with soy-based inks.ย 

OTHER THINGS I’M DOING:

  • Iย prefer suppliers committed to eco-friendly practices such as FSC papers, recycled papers, plant-based inks and energy-efficient factories.
