Coding

Somewhat frustrated at working with developers to create websites, Ina undertook some coding courses so that she could create websites to look exactly how she wanted.

This website is a living proof of it, hand-coded from scratch by Graphitons. Here are some others: Can Bonamic | Keep Moving Method | Elena Tarrats

Quantum physics

A deep fascination for the workings of our universe drove Ina to conduct research on quantum phsyics, more specifically on String Theory. She has developed two artistic projects about her findings: Symphony of the Cosmos (Gaudeamus Projecta Award) and Dance of the Cosmos.

Words from clients

“El millor fitxatge de la història d'aquest projecte.”

Judit Neddermann, about the design of her 5th album 'LAR'.

“Marina is an extraordinary artist with a very valuable ability: she’s ahead of you and makes you discover things about your project that you didn’t even know. She detects the essence of a project and that enables her to communicate it in excellence.”

Elena Tarrats, about her personal website design + code, & album design for Alexandræ

“I choose to work with Marina for her creative excellence: an ingenious queen creating forms that elevate contents to other dimensions. Without Marina's work, there are many layers of the content that would not reach you.”
