An artist since she could hold a pen, Marielle grew up learning everything from oil painting to interior design. As she got older, she started integrating art with technology so by the time she stumbled into advertising, it all just clicked.

She began her career in the Philippines, winning multiple creative competitions and making campaigns that would go viral around the world. She was named one of the Philippine’s Top 3 Art Directors, with work that’s been recognized in shows like Cannes, CLIOs and Spikes Asia to name a few. Right now, she’s a mentor for young talent across Asia, handling a team of innovators from Dentsu Singapore.

In over 13 years, she’s led work for global giants like Activision Blizzard, P&G, Intel, Toyota, and Coca-Cola, alongside beloved Asian brands like Pokémon, Singapore’s F1 Grand Prix, Jollibee, and Lazada. She’s been deep into gamer culture, has hacked online shopping for new moms and even made millions cry with a Star Wars film for Globe Telecom.

If you find yourself in a room with her, bring up anything new in film, K-pop or anime and watch her talk your ear off as she crochets her next sweater.
