Marion started to produce resources for teachers and students. She created study packs, lesson notes, wall charts and an assortment of games and activities used for teaching children. Each product was created in design software and then published in PDF format for simple distribution. Marion's business had the added benefit that she was able to deliver her products to buyers digitally. The documents were attached to emails and sent out without the need for printing and postage costs.
