I'M THE MIND BEHIND DIGITALIST

ABOUT ME

Hi, my name is Marina, the brains behind Digitalist! I'm glad you found me.

I've been on a fantastic journey over the past decade, working with a variety of industries, from small businesses to huge enterprises. I can safely say I've done pretty much all that comes with the job. The hardest thing you could do is ask me to describe myself and how my mind works. To put it simply, I have an engineer-like logical and solution-focused mentality, a strategic and analytical approach to everything I do, combined with a strong passion for art, design and all things beautiful.

My values drive me

Honesty
Collaboration
Positivity
creativity
HUMANs FIRST

Our people have worked with amazing businesses

WHY US?

Combining strategic thinking with stunning design to deliver real results to small businesses.

Digitalist came into the picture after I found myself frustrated with the level of service and quality agencies and freelancers were delivering to small businesses. Why small businesses are not entitled to receive the same expertise and service quality large companies do? I also found that design projects were not receiving the strategic attention it deserves. Most service providers will just follow a brief or branding guidelines. That's how we are different: Each piece of work we build, aims to connect and resonate with a customer, a user, a human.
