Episode 208 | How Rina Malonzo Transitioned From Designer to Business Owner and Continues to Manage Her Sanity
In this episode, you'll hear about:
🌟 Rina's career that spans decades in design working in corporations, at agencies, as a freelancer, and now an entrepreneur.
🌟 The role that fear and boredom play in her career pivots, and how most creative people tend to look to do something that surprises themselves.
🌟 The importance of rest in creativity.
🌟 Setting aside some throwaway or “play” money so that you're not scared to try anything as you figure out what you like to do or just to enrich your life.
About this guest:
After receiving her bachelor’s degree at UC Berkeley, Rina Malonzo studied graphic design at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. Prior to opening her own branding studio, she rose through the ranks at Bloomingdales, Donna Karan, Eddie Bauer, The Limited and elevated her career to Vice President at Edelman.
Tink Tank Studio pioneered branding in Manila back in 2010. For over a decade, three things have defined Tink Tank Studio's success: the pursuit of joyful collaboration, the curiosity to dive deeper and longer, and the creative power of our opposing forces. What began as a studio built by a design duo, has now grown to a team of designers with offices in New York and Manila, serving clients globally.
About the host:
Danella cut her professional teeth in hospitality and customer service at Walt Disney World and the Four Seasons. Her diverse experiences, from media sales to journalism, have culminated in co-founding ventures like Full Suite, SPARQ, Homegrown Media, and co.lab, all aimed at fostering business, entrepreneurship, and community growth. A recent graduate of the Inner MBA program, Danella infuses purpose and mindfulness into her work and life.
In constant pursuit of balance and self-development, she applies the practices of yoga in her daily life and surfs as much as possible to stay in touch with nature.
