I'm an idea hamster and an engineering nerd in love with design, psychology & philosophy. 
And hospitality is my playground!


Hello, my name is Marina Mitrovic,
I invent EPIC hotel brands with 
the soul of an artist & the mind of an engineer.

Being comfortable with the chaos of human experience & finding order in it, is my superpower.

THE RESULT?
Striking, innovative, relevant hotel experience with neat execution, without uncertainty and drama. 
As an artist, I'm a passionate observer of human experiences. And the engineer in me, is thrilled about untangling complexity.

I have degrees in economics and aerospace engineering which help me understand systems in detail. And those are the well-earned skills I am proud of. Yet my true superpower - creating immersive experiences - has been with me for as long as I can remember. For real! At six years old, I used to organise our family home to reflect our values and routines, corner by corner. Everything had to be convenient, easy to use, and tell a story about us! It's a way of thinking by default! 

During my student years, I had the opportunity to live in Rhode Island USA and Toulouse & Paris in France. That's when everything came together: the USA was where I fell in love with hospitality. In the summer of 2014, I had the chance to work in a Relais & Chateaux boutique hotel with extraordinarily high standards.


Since then, my path has been a mix of hospitality adventures and aerospace projects, both happening around the world.

As if that weren't enough, in summer 2020, I founded a fashion brand: "Michelle - the elegant t-shirt", selling women's business t-shirts and hand-painted storytelling silk scarves. 

But ten years later, only one thing has truly stood the test of time. It grew into a unique methodology that today I use to help clients remarkably stand out in the market!
Fun fact: I've lived in nine countries around the world, from Sweden to New Zealand, and I'm currently based in Dubai. You'll find me horse-riding or figure skate - activities that both excite and scare me, and I love exploring that feeling. 

The big aspiration is to create a foundation for sports lessons for schoolchildren and help local artists around the world sell their work globally. 

And my mission with Off Grid Hospitality is to bring love back to hospitality.

Join me.
