Undefined Creative did our first major marketing piece and it still does a great job of defining what we do a decade later!
Adrienne Schmoeker
Maria is a detail-oriented creative guru who has created 7 Motion Graphics projects pro bono through Catchafire, but more than that has given these organizations a compelling visual way to communicate their impact and mission to the world. Her adaptable leadership style has enabled her to have supported a range of types of social good organizations, from startups such as Maternova to internationally renowned brands such as the UNDP Equator Initiative and BRAC USA. Catchafire connects talented professionals like Maria to social mission based organizations on short-term projects. In our projects Maria takes on a leadership role and guides the organization through her well articulated creative process--she has mastered the art of pro bono. All of our member organizations who have worked with her have found her to be a delight. In the words of Michelle Chaplin of BRAC USA: "We learned a lot from the process about how to convey our message effectively, and ended up with a wonderful product that we will get a lot of use from. - Michelle Chaplin, March 2011 We at Catchafire are continuously inspired by Maria's insatiable desire to give back and the level of talent she brings to these organizations through her projects. We are honored to have Maria as a part of the Catchafire community and look forward to our continued relationship with her. I personally am also always humbled by her genuine approach to generosity: "Giving back does good, feels good, inspires more good." - Maria Rapetskaya, April 2012 Maria is helping us create a world where it is commonplace to serve the greater good--for that we thank her.

Maria managed this project wonderfully and we ended up with a great 30-sec spot that was engaging and entertaining.
