She founded and built the original creative collective and bridal beauty team in western Canada - famously known as ma-luxe studios - which launched in 2012 and to this day - is still credited and referenced as being a brand of impact and influence.
Mar and her team of passionate creators won awards for their bridal and beauty work throughout Canada - including a Canadian Wedding Award for Best Bridal Suite. Their work was published in numerous print publications - from Vogue to Wedluxe to Martha Stewart Weddings.
As a creative team, ma-luxe was sponsored by brands like Lancome Canada, Joe Fresh and Guess, as well as Kleinfeld’s Canada - before content creation ever officially existed.
