About

Hi, I’m Marina. I make the internet a better place with top-notch creative content. I have the heart of an artist and the brain of a businesswoman, and am as comfortable behind a camera as I am in front of a client. I have informed the content and creative strategies of global companies like Palantir, Amazon, GIPHY, PayPal, Proctor & Gamble, Anheuser-Busch, and IKEA. My work has been featured in HEALTH, Travel + Leisure, NPR, and at the Metropolitan Museum Art. My work helps people and brands make more money and friends. My M.O. is to be the kindest darn colleague and creative leader possible while still getting 8 hours of sleep. Let’s make things together.
