In this episode of the LD Aviation Podcast, we sit down with Marlis Dsouza, an accomplished artist and former Systems Test Engineer who made a bold career shift from the aviation industry to the world of art. As the founder of ArtsyByM, Marlis has successfully turned her passion for resin and alcohol inks into a thriving business. She shares her journey from her technical roots to full-time artistry, offering unique insights on how her background in aeronautics and systems engineering influences her creative process.

Marlis reflects on her time at Thales, where she worked in systems engineering, and at SMG-Streamline Marketing Group, where she managed high-profile aviation events. These experiences not only honed her technical and project management skills but also shaped her approach to building a successful art brand. She discusses the challenges and rewards of transitioning from a structured corporate environment to the fluidity of the art world, as well as how she balances creativity with the business side of her career.
