Anaccidental entrepreneur, Charlie ran his own design studio, produced independent feature films that competed at Sundance, and earned his MBA with summa cum laude honors in Finance and Marketing. Before Mother, Charlie worked at Ogilvy on brands like Motorola, UPS and Coke Zero (to name a few).

Danielle looks after Mother Design as Managing Director of the New York studio. At work she prides herself on creating the space for creativity to happen whilst pushing teams to deliver the most impactful work.


How her mother would describe her in one sentence: A caring, courageous individual with an infectious enthusiasm for experiencing new adventures and a determination to make every moment count.


Bringing an international view to Mother, Marianne is a Brit, by way of Australia (briefly) and New York (not-so-briefly), who now calls LA home. She has led communications for some of the most creative agencies and their clients, globally. Her newly-created role at Mother aims to apply her decades of experience to our US family, shaping our PR and communications function and helping us leverage our fuzzy edges to build a unique community of creative and entrepreneurial problem solvers.


Mark was born and raised in Los Angeles, where he studied graphic design and advertising at Art Center College of Design. After 15 years of working for creative companies like Wieden+Kennedy, Anomaly, Media Arts Lab, Quiksilver and Chiat\Day in LA, New York and Amsterdam, he joined Mother Design in 2018.


Once upon a time, Oriel was a chef. But, after tiring of the long hours and intense pressure he got into advertising. He started his career in New Zealand at Special Group and Colenso BBDO before moving to the US, where he spent time at Droga5 and Spotify before joining the Mother family as Chief Creative Officer of the New York office.


He has won 100+ awards for his work on global brands, nonprofits, social justice initiatives and failed Presidential campaigns. He is the founder of Corpleisure, a work-from-home-wear brand and ONE School, the first free, online portfolio program for aspiring Black creatives. Established in 2020, ONE School has graduated 130+ students to date, who are working in some of the industries best creative departments. He lives in New York with his family.


Hailing from Sweden, Paul is one of the founding Partners of Mother New York and its current Creative Chairman. He began his advertising career in Stockholm at Paradiset DDB. Over the past nine years, Paul has been involved in major campaigns for Target, Virgin Mobile, Stella Artois, Tanqueray and Sour Patch Kids, among others.


Peter leads Mother in the U.S. as CEO & Partner. He joined the Mother family in 2015.

A misfit in every sense, being a Frenchman born in America, with an odd British accent. A career that started as an athlete, Peter progressed to serve in a number of global strategic & development roles with companies such as adidas and Virgin, before finally finding his home in the creative world where his experience ranges from Airbnb, Gatorade, Target, Peloton, Stella Artois and has brought creativity (and hopefully empathy) to the worlds of Venture Capital and Private Equity.


At Mother, Peter is relentlessly in pursuit of helping create a company that is the most attractive destination to a new generation of global entrepreneurial and creative humans, whilst also partnering with our clients to place creativity at the heart of their growth strategy.


Outside of Mother, you will find him with his wife, three daughters, and sidekick dog trying to keep everyone busy doing sport, learning a musical instrument, eating properly at the table and trying to explain why daddy spends all day with his friends during the week.


A born-and-bred Southerner and lover of the Georgia Bulldogs, pursuing a career in advertising took Teri far away from her roots, beginning her post-college life in San Diego. Trading in her foam fingers for skis, Teri spent 12 years in California at Vitroagency, working on clients including Yamaha, PF Changs, Wild Turkey, Campari, Petco, and Taylor Guitars.


Previously, Teri served as President at 72andSunny, where she led the agency back to stability with record organic growth and new client wins. Over the course of her career, she has held senior leadership roles at some of the best agencies in the world as the brand steward for clients like Nike, Apple, Audi, Chipotle, and many more.


Being her only child, I inherited (or perhaps, assumed) all her belongings. Unlike me, who regularly purges or passes along clothes, my mother threw nothing away. So in March of 2018, eight months after she died, I flew home to St. Louis to sort through the 56 years of life she left behind.


During this time, my mother and I shared a large armoire and a hall linen closet; I remember the stacks of her jeans and button-ups in neat little piles behind the French doors. Her clothes were almost formulaic, and my memories of her pulling the top of each stack down are vibrant in my brain.

My mother-in-law has been living with us for the last year. After being unhappily married for my husband's whole life, she left his dad and, after several financial mistakes, ended up in our basement.


Her relationship with my husband has always been weird. She does things like edge me out of pictures so they can just be of her and her "boy." If I hug him, she has to hug him immediately after. If I call him a pet name, she calls him a pet name.


Since the divorce, things have only gotten worse. Now that she lives with us, she constantly tells me how "lucky" I am to have such a good husband when she had such a bad one. I am lucky, but my husband is lucky to have me, too.


She constantly babies my husband in a way that insinuates I should be doing these things for him. I didn't marry a man-child, and I have no intention of treating him like one, but the longer she lives with us, the more her constant service is becoming his expectation.


Bottom line: I want her out. The truth is, however, she can't afford it. She's in her mid-50s. I think she could support herself, but it would take changing her life by getting a job, getting job qualifications, being independent, and so on. She has a daughter as well as my husband, but her daughter has kids, and we don't, so everyone seems to have agreed that's not as good of an option.


My husband loves me and understands my frustration, but he would never turn his mom out on the street, which is something I love about him. However, I also need his mother out of my house immediately. What do I do?


I've spent a lot of time thinking of ways you can solve your mother-in-law/roommate woes, and I landed on a couple of potential solutions. But before I dive into these solutions, I wanted to talk about strategies for handling some of the complaints you listed in your letter. Remember, even if your mother-in-law leaves your house, she will still be in your lives, hip-checking you out of every photo opportunity.


Talk to your husband about his mother's behavior and how it makes you feel. Ask him to stick up for you when he sees her being passive-aggressive. This doesn't have to look like a grand call out; a simple "I'm the lucky one, Mom," when she's insinuating you don't deserve him will do the trick.


And as tempting as it is to fight for our in-laws' approval, don't be afraid to stick up for yourself as well. Again, this doesn't need to be a dramatic showdown. A gentle rebuttal such as, "He enjoys working in the kitchen," if she's complaining about him having to cook for himself, or "My mother always says the same about me," if she's referring to what a catch her son is, should gracefully shut her down.


As for getting her out of the basement, I think it's time to reexamine the sister-in-law option. I understand she is already working with a pretty full house, but having another adult around to help with childcare sounds like more of an asset than a drawback. Of course, there's always the question of limited space, but that's a problem a little rearranging can likely fix.


Asking kids to share a bedroom or your mother-in-law to sleep on a futon might be a big ask, but so is asking you and your husband to shoulder your mother-in-law's challenging circumstances alone. However, this is also a lot to ask of your sister-in-law and her family to carry alone, so I suggest you all consider taking turns.


Have your mother-in-law alternate spending a month living at your place and your husband's sister's place. This will give everyone much-needed breaks from one another. And while it won't give your mother-in-law a lot of permanence, permanence probably isn't the best way to achieve forward momentum anyway.


My second solution is for you to talk to your husband about an exit plan. This is very different than telling him, "Throw your mother out on the streets. I've had it!" Instead, tell him that you don't feel like this is a long-term solution, but you don't want to abandon the woman who raised him in her time of need, either.


Therefore, you'd like to sit down together and devise an action plan for getting her back on her feet. Talk about strategies for helping her rejoin the workforce and start to save money. Real estate licensing can be an excellent option for a third act. She could look into becoming a substitute teacher or starting a small business like being a doula, caterer, or dog walker.


Your mother-in-law is still a few years away from collecting Social Security or qualifying for Medicare, but help her look into other assistance programs that might help, such as subsidized housing or SNAP. You mentioned she made financial mistakes previously, so helping her find ways to rebuild her credit score could also be extremely helpful.
