Calling all ocean lovers, enamel pin collectors, and sticker enthusiasts: welcome to Marytime Designs! My name is Mary Elizabeth and I’ve been in love with the ocean and the life that exists beneath the waves since I was little. I’m an avid scuba diver with a marine biology degree and I’m currently working to monitor water quality in an environmental microbiology lab.

In 2021, I created Marytime Designs with the goal of combining my passion for the ocean and environmental conservation with my love of art, in order to share some of the things I’ve learned about the incredible underwater world. It is my hope that these designs will inspire your wonder and curiosity and bring awareness to some of the threats facing our marine ecosystems.

As Jacques Cousteau once said, “the sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever”. This has certainly been true for me, and I hope that by sharing my designs and some of the awe inspiring facts I’ve learned along the way, the ocean will capture you in its net of wonder, too!
