Today we’d like to introduce you to Terrell Jones.
Hi Terrell, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
My journey began with a hands-on passion for building and problem-solving. Early on, I learned the value of hard work, attention to detail, and doing things the right way the first time. I started by gaining experience in residential and commercial projects, working closely with clients, trades, and project teams to understand not just how buildings are constructed, but how strong relationships and clear communication drive successful outcomes.
Over time, that experience evolved into the launch of my own company, built on the belief that quality, integrity, and accountability should be the standard—not the exception. Each project became an opportunity to refine systems, strengthen leadership skills, and deliver results that clients could trust.
Today, I lead projects with a solutions-focused mindset, combining practical field experience with modern design and construction practices. My story is still being written, but the foundation remains the same: build with purpose, operate with integrity, and leave every client and project better than I found it.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Definitely not a smooth road—and that’s been one of the most important parts of the journey.
Like many entrepreneurs, the early challenges were about learning everything at once: building credibility, securing consistent work, managing cash flow, and wearing every hat in the business. There were moments where resources were limited, timelines were tight, and expectations were high—all at the same time. Learning to balance quality work with growth was a constant challenge.
Another obstacle was navigating setbacks—projects that didn’t go as planned, partnerships that didn’t work out, and lessons learned the hard way. Those experiences forced me to sharpen my decision-making, improve systems, and become more disciplined as a leader.
Instead of letting those challenges slow me down, I used them as fuel. Each obstacle helped shape a stronger foundation, clearer vision, and a deeper understanding of what it takes to build something sustainable. The struggles weren’t detours—they were part of the process that made the business and leadership stronger.

Where we are in life is often partly because of others. Who/what else deserves credit for how your story turned out?
No success happens in isolation, and I’m grateful for the people who’ve played key roles along the way.
First, credit goes to the mentors and industry professionals who shared their knowledge early on—people who didn’t just teach technical skills, but emphasized discipline, accountability, and doing business the right way. Their guidance helped shape how I lead projects and make decisions today.
My clients also deserve tremendous credit. Many took a chance on me and the brand early on, trusted the process, and allowed the business to grow through referrals and repeat work. That trust has been one of the biggest drivers of our success.
I’m also thankful for the skilled trades, partners, and team members who bring the vision to life every day. Their craftsmanship, reliability, and commitment to quality are essential to delivering consistent results.
Lastly, my support system—family, friends, and those who believed in the vision even during uncertain times—provided encouragement, perspective, and motivation when it mattered most.
Each of these people played a role in shaping not just the business, but the values behind it. Marlexi Design, LLC is built on shared effort, trust, and collaboration, and I don’t take that lightly.
