THE CREW
BJF'25
  • MARUSHA
    Marusha is the visionary behind the BJF concept. A passionate journaler and writer herself, she first dreamt of a cozy industry event in Barcelona, which she's happy to call home, and then – BOOM! – it grew into a festival. Marusha is also the founder of the Girls Who Write platform and the Naked Words journaling circle in Barcelona.

  • OLIVER
    Oliver is co-founder of the festival and someone who swears journaling has saved his life. A serial entrepreneur, founder of Unleash Your Ink and connoisseur of Spanish wines, Oliver is also a Shadow Journaling Coach and Mentor – a passion turned into vocation.

    Feel free to contact Oliver via email: oliver@unleash.ink
  • KATE
    Kate is pretty amazing: she combines passion for creative life AND a deep understanding of how to make money. She's passionate about marketing and helps companies thrive while also growing her baby project – The Honest Journal.

  • DARINA
    Photographer, writer, and a true creative soul, Darina seems to have lived a thousand lives. Innate storyteller and eternal seeker, Darina weaves magic into everything she touches — whether through the lens of her camera, the rhythm of her words, or the quiet power of her presence. With a heart full of curiosity and hands that never shy away from hard work, she brings both vision and momentum to the festival.

  • KAA
    Kaa is the visual heartbeat of the festival. As our designer, she shapes the aesthetic world we all step into — from the tiniest icon to the big, bold banners that frame our shared moments. With a sharp eye, a poetic touch, and an intuitive sense of harmony, Kaa creates more than visuals; she builds feeling, mood, and identity. Just like her design, Kaa’s personal style is bold, edgy, and unmistakably her own — a perfect reflection of the fearless creativity she brings to everything she does.
