HI! I am Marina a Product Designer specialised in Footwear and Accessories, with a strong focus on color and material development. I collaborate with brands to translate concepts into thoughtful, production-ready products.
My work spans concept development, color and material direction, building cohesive product stories through rendering and AI visualisation and delivering precise tech packs ready for factory execution.
Available for freelance collaborations.
About
I began my academic journey studying engineering for three years, but soon I realised it wasn't the right path for me. That led me to switch to Product Design, a field that allowed me to explore innovation, aesthetics, and meaningful making.
I graduated in 2021 and since then, I discovered a deep passion for materials — their textures, origins, behaviors, and the emotions they can evoke. This curiosity has become a central part of my creative process and the way I approach every project.
My love for crafts runs deep. It's in moments of making that I feel most connected to myself — a connection rooted in my grandfather’s. He had an extraordinary ability to transform simple, found objects from the countryside into functional and beautiful pieces — most often using raffia and wicker to craft chairs, baskets, and other everyday items. Watching him work instilled in me a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, resourcefulness, and the sensibility of materials.
