CW: death, suicide
With profound grief, we’re sorry to share that Rowan Rowden has died by suicide.
Rowan co-founded Dual Wield Studio and acted as our CEO, but she was far more than that to all of us. Rowan was an inspiration, a catalyst for change, and a dear friend. Their memory shall be one we do our best to hold close and honor as we carry on.
Our team has taken some time to grieve, which is something we recognize will be ongoing and far-reaching. As we continue to be gentle with ourselves and our grief, we hope you can take the time and space to seek and accept support for what you need.
We will share any future initiatives organized in Rowan’s memory. If you wish to view or contribute to Rowan’s memorial page, you are welcome to do so by visiting here: https://memorialsource.com/memorial/rowan-rowden
Thank you for your ongoing consideration and support. We’re determined to do right by what Rowan has entrusted to us and keep going together.
