It’s been such a pleasure working with Marli, who has brought immense value to the Refinery29 brand over the last two years. Marli has the ability to strike the perfect balance between innovation and maintaining the brand’s essence. She consistently demonstrated a solid understanding of our aesthetic and seamlessly translated it into captivating designs that resonate with our target audience. Her collaborative nature makes her an absolute joy to work with — she eagerly embraces feedback and turns it into actionable improvements that result in even more impactful designs. I can wholeheartedly recommend Marli to anyone seeking a true professional who can take their brand to the next level. - Zahra Campbell-Avenell, Head of Editorial, Refinery29 AU
I had the pleasure of working with Marli for over two years and was truly impressed by her rapid progression from Junior Designer to Designer in just one year. She possesses a remarkable ability to quickly grasp new concepts and has a distinctive sense of style and confidence. Marli's expertise in Art Directing was evident when she collaborated with our video team on a recent campaign, resulting in seamless branding and high praise. Her true superpower, however, lies in capturing the essence of ideas. A standout example is the VICE X Love better MOSD campaign, where she flawlessly integrated the VICE identity while handling the sensitive topic of young people dealing with breakups, leaving clients thoroughly impressed with her presentation. - Maya Brasnovic, Head Designer, Pedestrian Group
