About Marz Today

What is Marz Today?

Marz Today is a stamp brand based in the Philippines specializing in handmade stamps. I also produce custom washi tapes for artists.

My handmade stamps are ideal for those looking for a thoughtful gift for someone who seems to already have everything. These also work wonders for intimate or large events from weddings, fundraisers, or conventions.

A custom portrait stamp makes a great gift for first-year wedding anniversaries and birthdays, or simply to remember a friend or a pet.

Stamps are handy tools for branding on-the-go when you need custom packaging. It’s an essential investment for any side-hustle or small business.

Why handmade?
A handmade stamp is an environmentally friendly choice over machine-made stamps. I make them in small batches, which forgoes the waste involved in mass-produced stamps.

Your stamp-making friend, Marz

Kumusta! I am Marz, the chief creative behind Marz Today. My stamp-making journey began in 2013 when I picked up a book on printmaking and taught myself how to make stamps.

I aim to capture the likeness of objects and people from day-to-day life with my stamps. My printmaking practice is an articulation of comfort and nostalgia surrounding the different ways we consume. I’ve had the honor of exhibiting my works in institutions, commercial galleries, and fairs in the Philippines and abroad.

When I am not making stamps, I write for artists, galleries, and cultural institutions. At present, I am a curator-in-training, pursuing a master’s degree in curatorial studies. You may find my published works here.
