Mary Zimnik
For more than two decades, I’ve been driven by a passion for transforming education through innovation, technology, and design.
Through Studio-MZ, I’ve had the privilege of developing 85 courses, 31 workshops, and 14 programs while teaching in continuing education, partnering with institutions like Emory University and Southern Methodist University. My specialization in instructional design and e-learning includes developing, launching, and leading Emory’s successful Digital Marketing Certificate program online.
I craft personalized, student-centric learning environments that inspire curiosity and align with organizational goals. My expertise spans national universities, corporate training programs, and the full range of creative communications under the marketing umbrella.
Unique Approach:
My T-shaped expertise, alongside my experience as a digital nomad, combines deep knowledge in educational design with broad skills in media, marketing, and technology. I have a confident mission: to make learning accessible, engaging, and life-changing for every audience.
Thought leadership:
My interview published on Emory University's site — me talking about digital marketing, what it takes to succeed, and the importance of perennial learning: The Digital Craftsmanship in Customer Growth.
An excerpt: “I hope the course broadened their ideas of what they could do and where they can go. I hope through the process, it gives them a chance to think bigger than they had when they enrolled. I find learning does this. The process of learning and growing does this. There’s this sort of blossoming that happens.”
