“Who are you?” is the question that drives the work in Natural Selection Design. It’s through the lens of a naturalist that we review context and examine nuance to uncover breakthroughs. We are a nimble team that works closely with its partners to provide clarity and create value.
NS Design works remotely out of Metro Manila, but they call the neighborhoods of Pioneer and Kapitolyo home.

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, not the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.

Marla Darwin
Founder / Creative Director
Marla finished business at Ateneo de Manila University with a Loyola Schools Award for the Arts in Graphic Design, a result of logic and creativity playing off each other. She incorporated Natural Selection Design in 2013 after years working in branding and advertising in various roles and capacities.
Marla is also a writer, parent, and advocate. She is invested in the moral arc of the universe bending towards justice. When she isn’t on her soapbox, she can be found snacking.
