I was born in Houston, lived in Russia, was raised in Switzerland, educated in Washington, D.C. and now live in Philadelphia.
All of these places, people and experiences fuel my creativity. They have taught me how to communicate, problem solve, and helped to develop the unique perspective that I bring to every project and team.
Oh, and my name is pronounced muh-laa-nee. (Thanks for making that really confusing, Mom. Love you!)
