Season 1, Episode 26
Mari is a friend of mine from the planner group MN Planner Addicts. Being from Brazil originally, she tells us what it is like to be a planner enthusiast in a different social-economic culture where necessity is the mother of invention. Her mind is equal parts scientist (Vet researcher) and artist (Planner product designer).
We get to see a sneak peek of both halves of her brain and heart!

My guest says it so well...
Hello, my name is Mari (short for Mariana) and I started planning consistently around 2015 when I forgot about an important appointment related to my Ph.D. and I realized I had too many things to keep up with to just rely on my memory. At that time I was mostly living for my Ph.D., working/studying day and night, and I felt like I needed a hobby that I could do anywhere and anytime.
So I started doodling, mostly by following Youtube tutorials, and I just loved it. I created my Instagram account and my Youtube channel mostly to see my improvement over time on my planning and doodling style but ended up finding a great community behind it and made lots of friends along the way.
Offering:
I have some product designs in collaboration with a few Brazilian stores for any Brazilian listeners, such as planner stickers, page markers, shaker dashboards, and more at Scraptrip (@scraptrip), vellums, and TN notebooks at Planning Ideas (@planningideas), I actually have my own planner clear stamp collection at Scraplooving (@scraploovingbyfran), and a few more planner stickers over at MyStickers (@mystickers.com.br). Most of these stores are not selling internationally as a standard option, but if there is anyone interested I would recommend messaging them and I’m sure they will be willing to find a way.
I am also at HelloKalon PR Team (@hellokalon), and for that, you can use my code DOODLE15 for 15% off for selected items plus an exclusive freebie.
