San Francisco Personal Branding Photography Spotlight on Marilize Smit

Client Spotlight: Marilize Smit — Where Neuroscience Meets Empowerment

At Elisa Cicinelli Photography, we love celebrating women who are redefining what leadership looks like—and today’s featured client, Marilize Smit, is the perfect example of brilliance and boldness in action.

As the Founder and CEO of Mind Studio and a Brainwise Certified Life Coach, Marilize is deeply committed to personal transformation and the science behind lasting change. With a background in neuroscience and a passion for empowering others, she guides her clients through mindset shifts that lead to real, measurable growth.

Who says scientists have to look nerdy? I’ll let Marilize’s photos speak for themselves—powerful, polished and every bit as dynamic as the woman in front of the lens.

You can view Marilize’s full profile on LinkedIn here and don’t miss her cover feature in CIO Views’ February 2025 issue: “Top 10 Most Empowering Women Leaders Making an Impact.”

As a San Francisco Personal Branding Photographer, I love capturing the intersection of intelligence and elegance—and Marilize’s session was the perfect blend of both.
