Hi!

I’m Marina Utami

I’m a Visual Designer and Art Director based in Sydney with more than 10 years experience in the online campaign, advertising, digital imaging and other graphic design related.

ABOUT

Art has always been my passion since I was a child. Successfully earned a Bachelor degree in Visual Communication Design, I got hired in a branding company where I learned about web design, layout and digital imaging. After that, I landed on 12 Creative Agency where I expertise my skills in animation and digital advertising for 8 years. Aiming high on education, I achieved a scholarship to study Advertising and Design in Leeds, UK. Armed with experiences, knowledge and the love of travelling, I decided to become a freelancer/digital nomad. I collaborate with many top-tier companies and start-ups including Female Daily Networks, Shutterstock, SquadHelp, Unleashed Africa and Digital Stand.
