OUR STORY

At The Crafted Pen, every word is a bridge, every strategy a path, and every story a testament to resilience. Founded by Marlowe Boyd, a visionary Project Manager, Strategic Business Consultant, and Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW), our story is one of turning barriers into bridges for transformation.

Marlowe’s journey isn’t just an inspiring narrative—it’s a living blueprint. As a single mother with adversities stacked against her, Marlowe defied the odds, building an enterprise from the ground up with nothing but determination, resilience, and a laptop.

OUR
FRAMEWORK

From personal and professional challenges emerged the C.R.A.F.T. Framework, a methodology that now serves as the foundation for every initiative led by The Crafted Pen and our sister organization, Crafted Transformation Foundation.

The C.R.A.F.T. Framework:

  • Confidence: Empowering you to believe in yourself.

  • Resilience: Building strength to overcome obstacles.

  • Accountability: Upholding responsibility & integrity.

  • Freedom: Creating opportunities for self-sufficiency.

  • Transformation: Driving measurable change & success.

 

This isn’t just a set of principles—it’s the very foundation on which our strategies are built, our clients are empowered, and our vision for transformation takes shape.

OUR MISSION

At The Crafted Pen, our mission is clear:

  • Empower your small businesses with clarity, confidence, and sustainable growth strategies.

  • Support your nonprofit in building capacity, securing funding, and delivering measurable community impact.

  • Partnering with businesses contracted in government sectors to manage projects in human resources, training, workforce development, and program management with precision, compliance, and measurable outcomes.

 

Through every partnership and every project, we’re not just crafting strategies—we’re building bridges to sustainable transformation and collective success.

I.C.A.N. PROCESS

COMMUNITY ADVOCACY

Rooted in Marlowe Boyd’s personal journey of surviving a decade of abuse by a justice-impacted partner, The Crafted Pen began by partnering with nonprofits serving justice-impacted individuals and female survivors of abuse. Along the way, we uncovered systemic challenges—limited funding, inaccessible professional development, and inefficient systems—hindering sustainable impact.

 

This led to the creation of Crafted Transformation Foundation, dedicated to Nonprofit Capacity Building, Program Management Solutions, and delivering community-driven initiatives. Through Strategic Business Consulting, Technical Assistance Training, and Small Business Growth Strategies, we empower nonprofits and the communities they serve—turning barriers into bridges for lasting transformation.

Our story is ongoing—a testament to resilience, empowerment, and transformation. It’s about breaking cycles of adversity, eradicating systemic barriers, and creating pathways where none existed before.

In Marlowe Boyd’s words:
 

“There is no one better to drive success than someone who has thrived in the face of adversities.”
