About

It all started when…

Social Media Strategist | Model | UGC Creator

Hi, I’m Marina Merchant-Dest (She/Her)! A 24Y Czech and Caribbean creative with a passion for helping brands grow through impactful social media strategies. My expertise lies in generating organic traffic, creating compelling aesthetics and photography, and designing eye-catching graphics that resonate with audiences.

I spent two transformative years living in New York City, chasing my modeling dreams. While my modeling career didn’t take off as I had hoped, it led me to discover my true calling: empowering small businesses to share their products with the world. Today, I’m proud to work with amazing clients, combining creativity and strategy to elevate their online presence.
