Hello there!

I’m Maitri Marks, the human behind Ardon & Pardon. I graduated from the National Institute of Fashion Technology, India, and spent over a decade in Singapore working across advertising, branding and creative consultancy. Along the way, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a range of clients including Changi Airport, Jewel at Changi, HBO, Singapore Zoo, HPB Singapore, NNI Singapore and many more. In 2021, I returned to India and illustrated the children’s book Marvellously Mixed Up, published by Hachette. Since then, I’ve been diving headfirst into my true passion—illustration and storytelling—through Ardon & Pardon. Ardon & Pardon believe there’s a story tucked away in everything—a forgotten corner, a swirling cloud, a rustling leaf. Their mission? To uncover these hidden tales and turn them into prints and patterns that spark curiosity and wonder. If you'd like to join them on this journey, I’d love to hear from you.
