Origin Story

Marcus Styles is a business connector and brand creator who has supported more than two hundred fifty small businesses through design, photography, and brand strategy. His journey began in Minneapolis by simply saying yes to the people around him. Hairstylists, realtors, mortgage advisors, shop owners, and nonprofit leaders needed more than a logo. They needed a brand that reflected their heart, their story, and their place in the community.

What began as helping a few local entrepreneurs quickly grew into a studio dedicated to building thoughtful brand identities, visual systems, and content that feels true to each client. Along the way, Marcus learned that branding and connection are inseparable. When people feel seen and understood, their businesses flourish. That belief shaped his entire approach.

As Marcus continued to support small businesses across the Twin Cities, he realized the community needed something bigger than branding alone. That insight inspired Heyven, a virtual neighborhood designed to help creators, businesses, and nonprofits find the visibility, partnerships, and community they deserve.

Today, Marcus brings an easygoing presence, a sharp design eye, and a commitment to elevating every business he touches. Whether someone is starting fresh or refreshing an established brand, he helps them show up with confidence, find the right connections, and build a visual identity they can be proud of. His work remains rooted in one simple idea: every business deserves a brand that feels like home.
