Today we’d like to introduce you to Mario Zuluaga.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Mario. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
My story as an “entrepreneur” began 14 years ago when I graduated from a University as a graphic designer in my native Colombia. Starting my career, I lived many adventures. I went from working as an employee of a printing company to doing Freelance work until taking a leap of faith to introduce myself into the world of entrepreneurship. With my laptop in a briefcase and on a motorcycle, I had a “mobile office,” which I used to visit my clients that ranged from small local businesses to large national wide companies… I should emphasize that at that time, the word entrepreneurship was a rare thing to hear. My entrepreneurship really came about as I saw a need to produce more money to fulfill the dreams I had for my life.
I summarize my professional career in Colombia in nine wonderful years that started with me working from a desk in my small apartment to the company you guys now know as mazdi design innovation. Throughout those years, I had the pleasure to work with large national brands to create renowned campaigns with the support and talent of a team of seven crazy designers that formed part of my company in Colombia.
My trip to this great country, I owe it completely to my wife, who is my childhood love (I was fortunate to marry the love of my life). We got married back in 2012. She had already been living in the USA for a few years before that, but love brought us back together. I arrived to the United States in 2015 knowing only her and with a bag full of dreams and some uncertainty. However, I was eager to learn and adapt to this new world, new culture and new market for my business. This journey has been a true enriching adventure. Between learning a new language and finding myself in this new land while developing and evolving my company, I’ve had to overcome plenty of obstacles. Nevertheless, everyday I wake up with drive and passion to create and grow.
Has it been a smooth road?
Being an immigrant is challenging; facing and discovering a new world has not been easy. Obstacles will always be present; from learning a new language to understanding this new world that sees design and marketing differently to what I was used to, I had to change my approach in life. I arrived to the United States when I was 28 years old and while developing my business here, I discovered my passion for Branding. I have always had a love for graphic design and art, but a very big challenge for me was to recognize that if my way of working did not evolve, I was going to be stock in what I knew. This country challenged me to reinvent my company and its services and that is how branding captivated me. Learning to understand brands and consumers to generate an empathy between them with clear messages that connect has been the best challenge I have faced professionally.
