I'm a creative director with an art direction focus, an occasional word-smith, a perpetual student yet strategic rule breaker, a design connoisseur with an eye for good taste, a word-nerd with a love of storytelling, a human with a curiosity for human nature and an innate passion for all things creative, provocative, and culturally impactful. I believe in the value of an insightful brief, the power of working with passion and staying kind.

  • Actually helped save lives, by creating an awareness campaign for the COVID-19 vaccines

  • Shot a tampon commercial in New Zealand (because where else could we possibly shoot that?!)

SUPER fun facts

  • I’m the only Marsha Chandy in the world, which is pretty cool, but It also makes me extremely googleable. I’m still not sure how I feel about that.

  • I’m a proud third culture kid which gives me a perspective on things that no one else has.

  • I have my SCUBA certification, so I wouldn’t shy away from an underwater shoot in the middle of the Pacific.

  • I’ve never had my wisdom teeth taken out, so I’m just holding on to all that wisdom.

  • Backgammon is the best board-game ever, and I want to teach it to everyone I know (and don’t know).

  • I can eat spicier food than you.

  • I read tarot cards on the side.

  • My dog, Naina, is the cutest dog in the world.
