THE DESIGNER
"Marina Rijpma, a visionary artist with an thirst for creativity and design. Born and living in Amsterdam, my journey began as a display artist, even win some awards for my work.
Venturing into the realm of fashion during the electric 80s and 90s, I found myself at the helm of the international fashion house Esprit, shaping the image of their stores and embracing the dynamic pulse of the industry.
Searching for new horizons, I set sail to the south pacific and start a new life in Fiji, immersing myself in the boundless wonders of the ocean depths through diving.
After three years of island living, I left the South pacific for the mediteranian island Mallorca. Here, I pour my passion into designing interiors and crafting accessories "
