Pssst. Here's the big secret about how a Marker Nine design comes together. There's no big secret...just a lot of love for the water, coastal living and great designs.

Okay. Okay. There MAY be a few Nor'Easter inspired designs, too, but for the most part, every design starts with inspiration from coastal living, a sketch design by co-founder Mike Silberhorn, a draft graphic design from artist and owner Michele Harrison and lots of ideas, market research and feedback from Rudy Heinatz.
