MARINELL MONTALES

A true Renaissance woman for a new age, Marinell freelances as a graphic designer and production assistant for various tech companies and small businesses. When not designing and networking, Marinell can be found focusing her trusty Sony Alpha NEX-5 on stylish subjects to snap for her Jersey City street style blog, Downtown, Natch! Not one to shy away from a smooth Rioja or a rich cup of Intelligentsia Coffee at The Warehouse Café, she spends much time wandering the Powerhouse Arts District in search of Alien Encounters and Michio Kaku-ian discussions on parallel worlds and 2012 after checking in with The Man Repeller and other fashion blogs for tips on how to mod-ify yesterday’s threads into tomorrow’s vogue. Marinell also blogs on occasion, enjoys social media, has a keen eye for video editing and holds a BS in marketing which she has put to good use for companies like New Video (now Cinedigm) and Indiegogo.
