S.MARENKO is an independent brand by designer Sophia Ponomarenko, currently based in Providence, Rhode Island. Graduating from RISD in 2025 with a BFA in Industrial Design, she aims to balance the learned methodologies from her education with more conceptual and sculptural approaches.  


S.MARENKO addresses the relationship between body and adornment -

it's an interrogation of what it means to adorn oneself - a conversation between maker, object, wearer, and observer. The objects created become materializations of Ponomarenko's explorations and experiences concerning dualism, expressed through the composition of material, process, form, and texture. Every piece is intended to become an extension of its user, pushing its tangible purpose into the metaphysical and extending our identity and physical form.
