We had the good fortune of connecting with Marielena Zambrano and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Marielena, maybe we can start at the very start – the idea – how did you come up with the idea for your business?
I’ve always loved creating but I didn’t really enjoy being in front of the camera. Being a UGC creator allows me to be my most authentic self while creating beautiful reels/ videos for everyday things that I love and enjoy.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’ve always felt pretty lost in life and up to now I didn’t know what to answer when people would ask me “ what are you passionate about “ being a UGC creator is not an easy thing but it’s definitely a career is see long term and hopefully someone become a creative director for a huge brand. Everyday I learn and grow. I’m definitely not where I want to be but I know I’ll get there! One day at a time.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would take them to the super blue Miami ( art museum ) Go shopping and walking in coconut grove and miracle mile.
Dinner at La Mar inside the Mandarin Oriental and then drinks either at Sylvester or Lagniappe house.

Next day: have a beach day south of 5th
Lunch at Amara at paraíso
And maybe a club after hours.
