Clarity, creativity, and change in complex systems and real lives.

Helping organizations and individuals see clearly, think systemically, and act creatively in response to the complex challenges they face.

Marverian is a strategic innovation, resarch, creation, and education studio.

We work at the intersection of design, behavioral science, academia, and systems change — helping organizations and individuals find new ways to understand, create, and transform.


Our work spans:

Organizational consulting & innovation projects

We help teams reframe challenges, design interventions, and navigate complexity with behavioral insight and systems rigor.

Executive and graduate teaching

We design and deliver high-impact learning experiences at top institutions, blending academic depth with practical relevance.

Framework & tool design

We build original methods — like the L6:8 Framework — to support problem-solving, decision-making, and behavioral transformation

Media & publishing

We develop learning materials, design tools, games, and storytelling assets to scale knowledge and creative practice across contexts.

Meet Our Team of Collaborators

Every one is a world-class professional, university academic, and thought leader in their domains. Finding this kind of depth outside of our community is unlikely at best.

Our Approach

We use our own original frameworks to integrate human insight with systemic intervention. We don’t just solve problems — we help you reframe, redesign, and realize new possibilities. Everything we do is:

Image for service

Collaborative

We work with you, not for you.

Image for service

Creative

We do not recycle solutions.

Image for service

Rigorous

We zoom out before we dive in.

Who We Work With

Marverian collaborates with clients across sectors — from multinationals to nonprofits, universities to startups.

Colophon

Why “Marverian”?

A marver is a flat slab of stone or polished steel used by glassmakers to shape molten glass. The artisan rolls the glowing gather across its surface to cool it, center it, and begin to give it form.

The marver doesn’t dictate the shape.
It doesn’t impose.
It supports.

The Marverian approach works the same way.

We don’t drop pre-formed solutions onto clients. We provide the surface, which is to say, the conditions, the process, the perspective, where new ventures can take shape through contact and collaboration. In this way, Marverian isn’t just a company. It’s a method. A stance. A space. A co-created act of formation.

To be Marverian is to be committed to clarity without reduction, creativity without indulgence, and collaboration without compromise.

About the Logo

The Marverian logo features a stylized “V” — the venture — held between two shaping forms.

You might see:

  • Parentheses, like those that contain a thought, or hold an equation in logic
  • A marver’s edge, guiding a glowing form into shape
  • Hands, framing and steadying the work
  • A set, a vector, or even a stage — waiting for something to emerge

We designed it to echo the philosophy behind our work:

That the most meaningful outcomes come not from control, but from mutual shaping.

What We Believe

Every problem that matters is a human problem.
And human problems exist in systems.
That’s why our work begins with insight, but moves swiftly to structure, testing, and realization.

At Marverian, we don’t separate creativity from strategy, or ideas from outcomes. We integrate behavioral science, systems thinking, and design practice to bring clarity and traction to complex challenges.

Whether we’re designing a course or a program or a corporate university, facilitating a breakthrough session, shaping a publication, training the trainers, experimenting with an offering, or building an innovation model, our method remains the same:

  • Look clearly through multiple lenses
  • Act precisely using well-chosen levers
  • Create collaboratively, always

What Makes Us Different

We don’t chase trends or package buzzwords. We do the deep work of making sense — of behaviors, systems, and stakes. That’s where lasting value lives.

We’re not just design thinkers or behavioral scientists or strategists — we’re translators between those worlds. We work in the tensions between disciplines, and that’s where our clients find clarity.

We’re skeptics of one-size-fits-all methodologies. Instead, we develop tools tailored to context, like our L6:8 Framework, which helps teams see more clearly and act more precisely.

We bring both craft and criticism — we know how to build, but we also know how to ask whether the thing should be built at all.

And we collaborate with care. Not as service providers, but as thought partners. Not to take over, but to unlock something essential and unfinished — together.

Let’s create something that couldn’t exist without both of us.
