Launching UNDSCVRD Markets @ Sunday Streets During a Pandemic

COMMUNITY.
We all need it. As humans, we’re not meant to be this alone and isolated.
 
I’ve been living under a pretty strict quarantine with my husband and dog Mochi for exactly 176 days (I’ve kept a calendar). Like so many in the beginning, I scrolled furiously on my phone reading article after article every day to learn the latest on coronavirus #s, trends, discoveries, and theories. Everything was so uncertain, and it was hard to know who to believe in the media. I didn’t realize it at first, because it was like a slow burn, but it all got to me.
 
– It made me scared, angry, and uncertain.
– It made me start to see people as viruses, instead of human beings.
– It made me judgmental of others who weren’t following the rules.

Ringing in 2020 with FUNKINLOVE!

2019 was filled with so many incredible milestones for the Make It Mariko team. This was a special event for us because it was a celebration of the new decade, Gina’s birthday, and the 4th anniversary of Make It Mariko. On her 30th birthday, Gina created Make It Mariko as a gift to herself. Over the years, the team has grown and evolved and we’re excited to see what this new decade has in store for us!

To celebrate the start of a new decade, we threw our first ever New Year’s Eve party! We collaborated with our Undiscovered event partners 7th West and Creative Transit Agency plus Full Out Studios to pull off this amazing celebration. Read More

Why I’m Quitting Tech To Be An Entrepinay

After 7 years, today is my last day at Google / X. Honestly, I never thought I’d stay for that long. And the funny thing is, I almost didn’t accept the job. But here I am 7 years later, and ready to take the leap and go full time #Entrepinay (aka Pinay entrepreneur). Reflecting back, there wasn’t one moment that brought me to this decision. Instead it was a perfectly timed chain of events, a lot of faith, and listening to signs from the universe that led me to this current endeavor.

CAMP: A Creative Business Conference Like No Other

A few weeks ago I attended back to back conferences, both of which could not be more different from each other. I’ll post a separate blog about conference #2, but first off, CAMP, aka The Unique CAMP. This is not your typical business conference. Imagine yourself in the woods of Big Bear, CA, with 200 other business owners, entrepreneurs, and creatives, camping in YMCA bunks, making up chants, taking workshops, doing archery, with no access to cell phones or laptops. I have to say, it was a beautiful thing full of beautiful people. Read More
