Marika is the founder of High Tea Skincare: a natural, handcrafted skincare line. After navigating the isolating world of indie beauty—where getting reviews, building trust and creating content felt like pulling teeth—she knew there had to be a better way.

She woke up one morning with the clear concept for UGC Summits, and just like that, a whole new way to overcome that frustration was born!

Created for founders who are tired of shouting into the void, UGC Summits flips the script by bringing like-minded entrepreneurs together. It’s part pitch event, part content creation party and part community revival—and it’s exactly what she wishes had existed as she was launching her own brand.

When she’s not blending botanical formulas or coaching presenters to own their voice, Marika is probably drinking tea, disrupting the status quo (loudly...) or making things wildly more beautiful and honest than they need to be.
