Indigenous Geographic: Indigenous History & Modern Self-Governance

An indigenous-owned educational platform with thinkific

Indigenous Geographic chose us for an important project: launching a platform and flagship comprehensive online course that that educates about Canada’s First Nations, Métis, and Inuit. We provided curriculum and content consultation, setup, design, and training services for their team. We’re thrilled with the result and can’t wait to see how their platform evolves and grows in the coming months and years!

“It was an absolute pleasure working with Marin! Her expertise and attention to detail were exceptional, and her service went above and beyond our expectations. Marin’s ability to understand our needs and deliver results in a timely and professional manner was impressive. She made the entire process seamless, and her positive attitude made it a joy to collaborate with her. I highly recommend Marin to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and dedicated professional. We couldn’t have asked for better!”

setting up social work certificates via thinkific

The YouthRex team reached out to us for a quick-turnaround project to set up and design their certificate for Combatting Anti-Black Racism, including embedded surveys with SurveyMonkey, and automation integrations like Zapier. We’re extremely proud to be working with York University on such important and vital work, and continue to support them on several projects and initiatives.

“Marin was truly a joy to work with. She supported us in setting up the online learning platform for our certificate on a very short notice. Although this wasn’t the first certificate we’ve offered, Marin delivered a final product that more than exceeded our expectations. She was able to elevate the look and usability of the platform beyond anything we imagined while still staying true to our brand. Despite pressing timelines, Marin stayed calm, professional, and empathetic throughout the whole process. We look forward to collaborating with Marin Nelson Creative on more certificates in future.”

Zita West HUG Courses

creating an exclusive online education program

Fertility guru Zita West has helped some very A-list mamas over her lengthy career as a midwife, including Kate Winslet and Gwyneth Paltrow. She’s now launched a series of courses and workshops, taking her expertise into the online education world. MNC worked with Zita to consult on ways to take her vast knowledge and translate it into a modular, self-paced program through Thinkific.

“Kristina and Marin worked closely with me to launch my first online education products. Their initial consultation expertise allowed me to formulate a course structure and online offerings that made sense for my business, and resonated with my audience. Once we developed a sound course strategy together, they executed on putting everything together beautifully. They were both highly communicative, professional, and helpful, and I can’t recommend their services enough.”

SOS ThreeSixty Boundary Training Courses

BOUNDARY TRAINING FOR educators ACROSS NORTH AMERICA

Nicole and Avery Mann had honed extremely valuable content on child safety and boundaries through years of travelling to schools and educational institutions to deliver their training. Now, they wanted to take it all online. We worked together to craft a video-centric curriculum that made sense for their audience. We scripted it, filmed it, and brought it to life!

“When working with Marin on our online courses, we really felt like we had found a partner who was as dedicated to our success as we were. She was with us from start to finish: there on filming day, helping us make on-the-fly script edits, providing constructive suggestions - and cheering us on! She set up our entire Online Learning Platform and we continue to consult with her on ways to improve our curricula.

As we launch more courses, we are again engaging Marin for her expertise and professionalism - and because of the trust we have in her. We can’t recommend her enough!”
— Nicole Mann & Avery Mann, Founders, SOS ThreeSixty, Inc.

Fiore Group Training

site design, curriculum development and ongoing consultation

Phil Eastwood of Fiore Group Training approached me because he wasn’t sure where to begin with creating and publishing his online training courses for business professionals. Over the next 9 months, I lent him a hand with a video production schedule, scripting, site design and set up, curriculum content uploading, and more.

“Never having had built an online learning platform before, I reached out to Marin.

Marin has been brilliant with her availability and obvious desire to see our vision achieved right through to launch day. Never once did I feel that any question that I had was too small and Marin also added so much with her suggestions and guidance.

If you are looking for someone to lead you through the process in a way that feels supportive and highly professional, then Marin is your person!”
— Phil Eastwood, MA, CSP, Senior Partner at Fiore Group

What other clients are saying about us

“I was blown away by Marin’s expertise. She fuses her artistic abilities and keen visual eye with her years of experience in the business world. She’s an amazing listener and really endeavoured to make sure she understood me, my business and where I wanted to go with it. Her many unique ideas and encouraging and caring personality pushed development forward. I fumbled around for years to get to the point where I knew how to fully represent my business accurately but never got there with confidence until Marin helped me.

Marin is essentially a Swiss Army knife for your business: she can strategize to where your business can go, she comes up with design concepts and implements them, she can be your editor for all of your text, she can write original content for you if you’re out of ideas, she’ll be your project manager to make sure you’re keeping on track. She’ll even be your personal cheerleader as well. She was all of those for me and I’m extremely grateful.”

— Matt Reznek, Reznek Creative

“Marin’s development of our website has made a significant difference to our business. In our office we ask Who should do the job, not How should the job get done. The answer for us was Marin Nelson. When we didn’t know where to begin or what we were doing, she stepped up and under a time crunch, delivered a beautiful product, listened to our ideas and implemented them in a timely manner. We will definitely continue to work with her as our services expand.”

— Matthew Jarvis, financial advisor and podcast host

“I couldn’t have been happier with the results of Marin’s work on my Thinkific site. After our initial discussion, she started with an in-depth questionnaire. From there, she efficiently took care of some of the nitty gritty tech details and checked in with me early on to confirm that her design decisions matched what I was looking for. She nailed what I was looking for from the start.

If you’re looking for a good communicator who is creative, attentive to detail, takes the extra initiative each step of the way (e.g., with some of the design details), and meets the deadline (this was a tight one), I highly recommend contacting Marin!”
