Marina is awesome. She was able to meet with me very quickly to meet for the first time and get the process going. I walked away with tons of food for thought after our first meeting. She created a development plan with exercises and concrete tasks, helped me identify gaps in my skills/knowledge, and has communicate extremely well with me. I am grateful I get to learn from her!

My experience working with Marina was hands down the most valuable attribute of this program. She is knowledgeable, straight to the point, and very detail oriented. She helped instill confidence in my design skills and has a knack for honing in on your strengths. She kept me engaged and motivated throughout the program and was a wealth of knowledge. I felt empowered after every session, and am grateful to have been paired with her.
