Mare Verso is Adriana Contreras’ Creative consultancy

I believe that our collective creative force exists like a fractal. It grows in multiple directions, revealing new patterns, connections and perspectives as it evolves. With a deep commitment to social justice, cultural safety, and collective well-being, my work helps transform complexity into clear, compelling narratives that inspire action.

I’m committed to co-creating spaces where stories are seen, voices are heard, and ideas come alive. I am fluent in English and Spanish, and I work across languages, disciplines, and borders.

Through Mare Verso, I bring a perspective that’s both deeply rooted and always looking ahead. Like the ocean reflecting the cosmos, my work goes beyond the surface — helping organizations, institutions, and communities engage, inform, and act with purpose.
