Meet the Team

We are an international, bilingual, women-run business supporting important causes for social development around the world.

Founder & CEO
Nina is from Toronto, but splits her time between there and Antigua, Guatemala. She holds a degree in Philosophy and Psychology from York University, as well as a certificate in Digital Marketing Management from the University of Toronto, and a Post-Graduate in Project Management & International Development from Humber College.
She has experience working in marketing, communications, fundraising, and teaching in Canada, South Korea and Guatemala. After working in the social impact sector for a few years, she realized there was a need for nonprofits and social enterprises to fundraise and communicate in a modern and engaging way, so she started Sunflower with the hopes of helping clients tell their story, amplify their impact and reach their goals.
Her mother tongue is English, and she has working proficiency skills in Spanish.
She won the BMO x Humber College Women’s entrepreneurship pitch challenge in March 2023.

Optimizer Extraordinaire
Juliana was born in Guatemala City but was raised in small town Chimaltenango, and now lives in Antigua. She worked as an early childhood educator at a bilingual school where, thanks to the interaction with native English speaking teachers, she was able to acquire a proficient level of English.
After her move to Antigua, she began exploring new careers and learning new skills. While working at a Production House, she had the opportunity to learn Ethical Production Management. During this time she also started learning Social Media Management and Strategy, which led her to Sunflower. She is in charge of optimization, management, and making sure our clients content reach their goals.

Creative Mastermind
Lindsay was born and raised in Lawrence, Kansas. She studied Apparel Marketing, International Studies, and Nonprofit Leadership at Kansas State University. During her studies, she spent significant time in Guatemala working for various nonprofit organizations and ethical companies, as well as an impactful semester abroad in Spain.
After graduating in 2018, she moved to Austin, Texas where she worked in marketing & operations in the ethical fashion field. Her lifelong creative spirit and nonprofit experience led her to Sunflower Communications. She now resides in Antigua, Guatemala, and helps to create beautiful and effective content for our clients.

Strategic & Creative Director
Born and raised in Guatemala City, Natalia is a computer scientist turned creative visionary. After earning her university degree in Taiwan, she worked with various small creative agencies as a graphic and web designer, as well as a developer.
Previously serving as Sunflower’s Creative Director, Natalia now leads our digital online communications course and acts as a thought partner for the team. She is passionate about creating thoughtful, relatable, and impactful content that amplifies the human efforts that bring us together.

Project Manager & Strategic Partnerships Manager
Alia was born in Malawi and raised in London, where she worked in marketing and sales within the fashion industry. Four years ago, she moved to Guatemala to pursue a career in ethical fashion and social impact, aiming to make a meaningful difference. Her experience in working with social impact brands and nonprofits, as well as leading creative teams, led her to Sunflower, where she supports managing client accounts and plays a key role in expanding the organization’s goals through strategic partnerships.
Currently, Alia spends most of her time in Oaxaca, Mexico, though her love for travel and passion for exploring different cultures keeps her exploring new places.
