About Me
Hi, I’m Marnin.
I’m a product design leader with over 20 years of experience crafting thoughtful, user-driven experiences in product and web design. I specialize in bringing digital products to life—guiding them from early-stage concepts to impactful, polished designs. My approach blends leadership with hands-on design, and I’m most inspired when working on products that make a positive difference in the world.
What My Teammates & Clients Say
Julia Whistler
Platform Product Manager at GreenWave
I had the pleasure of working with Marnin for three years, and I can genuinely say she became not just a trusted colleague, but a friend. As a Senior Product Designer, she demonstrated exceptional talent in building our three products from the ground up, including complex farm modeling tools, custom mobile applications, and online learning experiences.
What sets Marnin apart is her ability to navigate challenging technical domains with ease. She masterfully adapted UX best practices to the unique needs of ocean farmers - a testament to her versatility as a designer. She built, implemented (and enforced!) our design system from scratch, ensuring consistency and usability across all products.
Marnin's collaborative approach was particularly impressive. She worked effectively with internal subject matter experts, gracefully incorporating feedback while maintaining design integrity. Beyond her technical skills, she showed remarkable product ownership, consistently advocating for improvements post-launch and identifying opportunities to reduce user friction.
Her combination of technical expertise, ability to build products from scratch, and genuine passion for tech for good makes her an ideal fit for startups looking to make a positive impact. I cannot recommend her highly enough - she's not only an exceptional designer but also one of the most enjoyable people I've had the privilege to work with. Any company focused on driving meaningful change would be truly fortunate to have her on their team.
Diego Ferreyra
Front End Lead at Goodfolk
I had the privilege and pleasure of working closely with Marnin for a few years in one of the biggest project we had at Lithograph Group. She is one of the most talented professionals I ever encountered in my (not short) career in Web Development.
Marnin's ability to turn complex business goals into journeys and then designs is unparalleled. She was able to very holistically point in the right direction for the project to achieve the goals that were set by the stakeholders. The amazing impact she's had on the project will be felt for a long time.
Marnin is someone I would love to work with again, no questions asked
