Marcellina Mardian

UX strategist and public speaker, championing diversity in tech.

I am a UX strategist and public speaker with a commitment to foster inclusivity in tech. With over a decade of experience, I’ve collaborated with leading brands and social enterprises to deliver impactful digital experiences.

I played a pivotal role in transforming Code Like A Girl into an award-winning social enterprise, making significant strides in addressing tech’s gender imbalance.

My diverse life experiences and non-linear career have equipped me with a unique perspective, allowing me to approach challenges with creativity, insight, and empathy.

I’m passionate about helping emerging and established organisations create innovative, human-centred solutions that push boundaries and leave a positive impact.

Currently based in Melbourne and Bali.

COMPANIES I HAVE WORKED WITH

UX Strategy and Research

Whether for a startup or global brand, I align business goals with user needs to create digital products that are functional, intuitive, and memorable.

I collaborate with clients, subject matter experts, and cross-functional teams to craft strategic roadmaps that bring the product vision to life.

While my core expertise lies in the Discovery and Research phase, I also contribute to service delivery and drive new business development efforts.

Public Speaking

As a public speaker, I amplify the voices of the underrepresented, championing inclusion and accessibility in tech.

My journey across 3 countries and a decade in the digital space equips me with unique cultural insights and expertise. I draw on my experiences as a migrant woman and UX strategist to offer perspectives on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB), career growth, and industry trends.

I've spoken at events such as Vogue Codes Summit and corporate engagements with R/GA, Affix, Code Like a Girl, and 99designs.

Digital Production

I work with established and emerging organisations in Australia to navigate the digital landscape, delivering unique solutions through compelling content and user-friendly platforms

From initial concept to final delivery, I manage end-to-end digital production with a focus on efficiency, quality, and collaboration (Read: I am fluent in JIRA). Having worked with clients across various industries, I ensure that every project I lead meets the highest standards, translating creative ideas into polished digital solutions that engage and delight.
