Small Business Spotlight Presents: Coming Home to the Ocean: The Story Behind Ramble Design

Here in San Diego, below the swells, Robin found the perfect place to blend her lifelong passions-art, music and the ocean. As the founder of Ramble Design, Robin is not only a small business entrepreneur, but also as a free diver, scuba diver, and lifelong musician and artist.
“I’ve been an artist for as long as I can remember,” Robin says with a laugh. It is clear that art, music and the ocean are part of her DNA. And more than ten years ago, Robin received her scuba diving certification, when she dived for the first time she recalls the "distinct feeling like I was coming home". Her love for both shines through in her interview, and life.
Ramble Design reflects this deep love for the ocean and a commitment to making a difference. Robin focuses on working with women- and minority-owned businesses, as well as nonprofits and others striving to bring joy and positive change to the world. This includes Marissa Charters, whose work highlights the beauty and importance of the ocean. “It feels good to work with people who are doing something meaningful. And as a small business owner myself, I understand the struggles-especially those that women and minorities face-because those challenges often go unrecognized."
But for Robin, it’s not just about business. At the core of her life, whether in the creative space or under the ocean, is community. “I’ve been part of all kinds of groups-music, art, even soccer-but none of them have been as tight-knit and supportive as the dive community.”
Whether free diving or scuba diving, Robin believes the ocean has a unique way of uniting people. “The ocean is for everyone. It’s a space that fosters respect and love for the water and for each other, and I think that’s incredibly powerful.”
Through Ramble Design, Robin isn’t just creating art-she’s cultivating a movement. A movement grounded in creativity, community, and a deep connection to the ocean. It’s a journey of helping others thrive, building inclusive spaces, and finding joy both in art and beneath the waves. Because, as Robin reminds us with a smile, “Saltwater really does cure everything.”
