What Clients and Colleagues are Saying

“Marvi is ONLY capable of producing high-quality journalism. Marvi’s background in journalism, advertising, nonprofit, and academia has allowed her to be nimble across all of our working environments – everything from fast turnaround deadlines to longer-form storytelling. Marvi is incredibly generous with her talent – by working with Marvi, my less experienced team has significantly increased their knowledge and skills and have been able to produce pieces of considerable, elevated quality.”

Lesleigh Irish-Underwood
Former VP of Marketing, United Way NYC

“Marvi is a motivated, creative thinker and a consummate storyteller. Her drive and determination coupled with her meticulous organizational skills are the backbone of her success in her journalism, advertising and consulting work. I have seen Marvi’s intense work ethic firsthand and have followed some of her projects from concept to completion. She is always hungry for input and critique; and while she has her own unique vision, she is nimble enough to accept and incorporate the ideas of collaborators and colleagues.”

Liz Baylen, Senior Producer, The New York Times

“Marvi is an absolute gem of a photographer, videographer, teacher and human being. She cares about people, and that shows in her work. You can't be a jerk and be a great photographer, and she proves that in every way with her dedication to the craft, and empathy to people.”

Ben Chrisman
Team Lead and Mentor, Foundation Workshop

“Not only did she excel in every technical and creative aspect of photography, but her passion, work ethic, and innate sense of storytelling were truly remarkable. Since then, I have followed her career with great admiration as she has built an impressive body of work.”
