Hi! I’m Holly Mandarich
Life enrichment guide
Coach / Storyteller (Photo + Words) / Designer / Creative Consultant
II’m an outdoor lover, adventure enthusiast + travel seeker… probably like you are, but what I value more than anything is sharing what I’ve learned.
Through life experiences I’ve charted many seas of emotional, mental and physical health, and I wish nothing more than to SHARE what I’ve found that enriches life.
As far as the business world goes…. in 2018 I left my 9-5 design agency job and currently have a career as a freelance creative and coach. One single image of mine reached 37 million people not because of a marketing strategy, but because it captured the raw joy of the moment.
I also have a knack for telling stories.
I strive to share all the knowledge I have with other like minded folks who wish to make an impact in this world and for those who wish to live an enriching life.
It all starts with you.
Yes, hi, hello! It’s me 👋

Let's discuss your vision.
Artificial Intelligence Disclaimer: I believe in being transparent about the tools I use to build your vision. Throughout my work—from creative direction and design to consulting—I use AI as a thought-partner to help synthesize data, identify patterns, and move through the 'noise' of a project.
I am fully aware of the tension this creates: the significant carbon footprint of AI vs. my deep commitment to nature and conservation. I don’t have a perfect solution for that contradiction yet. But I do believe that by using these tools with discernment, we can arrive at the 'heart' of a story faster and create the kind of high-impact, mission-driven work that actually moves the needle for our planet.
Technology is the vehicle, but the soul, the visual curation, and the final direction remain—and will always be—entirely human.
