WELCOME TO MADE BY MARIANA
About Me.
I'm Mariana Bakus, a sophomore at Michigan State University studying advertising management and economics. I love to lead and strategize. I'm someone who thrives on clever ideas, bold visuals, and a strategy that connects with people. My work is research-driven and structured, prioritizing clarity, persuasion, and measurable outcomes over aesthetics alone. To continue learning outside of class, I analyze advertising, film, and cultural trends. Outside the creative bubble, you’ll find me lost in music, film, or a random history rabbit hole.
