I was formed in the world of the arts and for a long time I worked leading animation projects based on qualitative sociological studies or ecological subjects. One of these projects, Villa Dulce, became so important that it laid the foundation for a national industry that today has been in growth for 15 years. Since this project, I have been recognized with various public development funds such as the National TV Council Fund (CNTV), the Audiovisual Fund and the Fund for Culture and the Arts (FONDART). Currently, I lead El Viento Estudio, a company that works exclusively in the creation of content for the popularization of science with animation and documentary. This year, seeking internationalization, we were selected with the animation project Los Cuentos de la Isla de Cantillana, as the only Latin American project in the Round Table Media Pitch of the Silverzals Festival, Leopoldina, in Germany.

I'm Maren—a scientist, science communicator, presenter and writer. I make cross-platform digital content for scientific institutions as well as media outlets, with a focus on reaching new audiences through rapidly evolving social media platforms. My 'curiosity first' approach turns complex information into fun, engaging, and entertaining videos that reach everyone—especially those who think science isn't for them. I've covered everything from nuclear physics to computing, but particularly want to create content around climate solutions, microbiology, and women's health.
