Get To Know Me

Marlow is the beloved office dog and official greeter at Form Function Studio. A Pekingese-Beagle mix with a big personality, Marlow has become a key contributor to the studio’s warm first impression. She can often be found stationed at the front door, ready to welcome clients, vendors, and friends with enthusiasm. When she’s not greeting visitors, Marlow enjoys “studying” from her favorite bed, chasing one of her many stuffed toys or balls, or patiently waiting in the kitchen for a snack; morning, afternoon, or anytime, really.

Marlow’s favorite part of coming to Form Function Studio is spending the day with her dad and getting plenty of attention from the team. She loves being a part of the collaborative energy and wishes someone would design her a stylish doghouse to match the studio’s creative vibe. Known for her friendly nature, Marlow delights in meeting new people and has only sneezed on a client’s shoes once, maybe twice. She’s always ready for treats (even when Dad says no!) and enjoys lounging in the courtyard, keeping a watchful eye on birds and squirrels.

Outside her “official duties,” Marlow brings joy and laughter to everyone she meets. Her playful spirit and welcoming demeanor reflect the studio’s values of authentic connection and meaningful involvement. Whether she’s curled up after a busy day of greetings or exploring the outdoors, Marlow reminds the team to slow down and appreciate life’s simple pleasures. For visitors, she’s more than an office dog, he’s a symbol of the studio’s inviting culture and a furry friend who makes every interaction memorable. 

Fun Fact

Marlow knows the sound of a mail truck from a mile away; always making sure to greet the mail carrier for pets and treats!
