Born and raised on the Maine coast, Marc Desrosiers is a designer, stylist and retail entrepreneur now located in Columbus, OH. Motivated by a love of storytelling and delivering fully immersive experiences, Marc cut his teeth at 100+ year old American outdoor icon L.L.Bean as part of the initial creative force behind the brand's Signature initiative, eventually designing all aspects of the men's collection under the guidance of Creative Director Alex Carleton.
In 2014 he split for the midwest, joining the Men's Design and Concept teams at Abercrombie & Fitch, tasked with reimagining the 125 year old brand's outerwear and swim collections with a reverence for the past and an eye toward the future. As half of the Men's Concept team, he helped showcase each season's innovation through the construction of custom, modular spaces meant to activate all five senses.
In the summer of 2017, Marc launched KILN, a retail and gallery concept that blurs the line between art and commerce in collaboration with a rotating stable of artists and craftsmen alongside the best boutique brands in the world.
He has collaborated on projects for FILSON, LEVI’S, URBAN OUTFITTERS, UNCRATE, TAYLOR STITCH, ROGUES GALLERY and others.
When not at work Marc is a dad, husband, rock and ice climber, snowboarder and mountaineer.
