Serena Marija doesn’t just make noise—she composes immersive, sonic‑tech experiences. As Founder & Director of Sanctuary of Creation, with an MA in Creative Business and status as an Art & AI Fellow at Salzburg Global, she engineers creative ventures where art meets algorithm, and melody meets machine.

Her SoundCloud channel is where tech‑aided soundscapes meet cheeky commentary—imagine generative audio that shifts as you listen, or podcasts where Serena interviews AI about its “creative process” (and then politely calls it out on comedic logic). A self‑confessed STEM convert, she believes that code can sound like jazz if you tune it right.

There’s method in her madness: Serena’s signature blend of creative strategy, cross-disciplinary insight, and accessible storytelling ensures even non‑tech audiences leave with a grin and a “Hey, I could try that.” Whether she’s performing live‑coded sets or releasing tutorial series on AI audio tools, her work combines intellectual rigour with a playful twist.

Internationally recognised and frequently invited to speak, Serena mentors emerging creators and builds communities where engineers and artists swap notes (and memes over coffee). She’s passionate about proving that technology doesn’t have to be cold—and that creative risk can be measured in decibels, not spreadsheets.
