Hi. I'm Marie Strycharz. Marie is a female name meaning "bitter" and Strycharz is a Polish surname meaning "bricklayer." My ancestors shame me from their graves as I type this with uncalloused hands.

I'm a copywriter from Buffalo, living and working in NYC. I believe the best creative tells the truth. I believe dumb ideas can be really smart. I believe everything brands put out into the world should have a point-of-view. And above all, I believe the fork is the best utensil for eating ice cream from the carton.

There are plenty more hot takes where that came from. As the girls from the OG Parent Trap once sang, let's get together! (Yeah Yeah Yeah)
