Martina Muises
Co-founder of Loft 153

Co-founder of Loft 153, a "multifaceted coworking space with character, design and collaborative soul”.
My name is Martina, Catalan by birth and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I am an enthusiast of innovation, always on the lookout for new stimuli and looking for different ways to offer something different, something that would catch my attention aswell. I studied Advertising and Communication and I have worked in many aspects of the MKT market; partly because I got bored quickly, partly because I am faithful to the constant movement and what catches my attention at the moment. That's how I went from Advertising Agencies to radio production, worked in press at Le Pain Quotidien, Social Media Management, produced art events, created my own digital marketing agency and have been freelancing in the sector since the pandemic. My interest towards the coworking world was - no more, no less - out of an intention to continue nurturing the entrepreneurial spirit that I remember from as far back as I can remember. Today what I love most about my job is meeting people from all over the world, from different sectors and with many, many different life experiences than yours. It makes your head explode!
