Nur Yijan Navarro Urbina

I am a 37-year-old Public Relations professional, entrepreneur, and creative director with a deep passion for sustainability, innovation, and technology. My journey in the world of digital marketing began in 2012, and since then, I have been dedicated to crafting impactful campaigns for various companies, designers, and fellow entrepreneurs, as well as for my own brand.

As a digital strategist, I have honed my skills in areas such as Google Ads, SEO, SEM, web development, application design, e-commerce, and digital marketing. Over the years, I have leveraged this expertise to achieve remarkable results for my clients and my own ventures.

Currently, I proudly own and manage two distinct enterprises. "Fashionista Colombiana" is a clothing brand that also provides manufacturing services to third parties. Additionally, "Muebles Banu" is a furniture factory known for producing beautifully designed pieces at fair prices. Both of these businesses share a strong commitment to sustainability, reflecting my unwavering dedication to eco-friendly practices.

As a philanthropist, I co-founded "Emprendedora Sostenible" under the "Cámara Verde" initiative, aiming to nurture the next generation of sustainable entrepreneurs while bridging the gap through digital transformation.

Throughout my life, I've had the opportunity to achieve various personal milestones. In 2018 and 2019, my children and I were crowned national champions in the sport of surfing, specifically in the bodyboard category. This accomplishment is a testament to our dedication and passion for adventure.

In addition to my entrepreneurial pursuits, I have explored my creative side as an artist. In 2018, I hosted my first art exhibition, where I transformed ordinary chairs into captivating works of art, captivating the audience with my unique approach to design.

Furthermore, I have also dabbled in writing and have had the privilege of participating in a competition aimed at independent authors. I was fortunate to be selected to showcase my two children's stories, "Estrellas en el Nochero" and "Espacialmente como Tú," at LIBRAQ2019.

In essence, my life's journey has been a blend of creativity, entrepreneurship, sustainability, and a commitment to fostering positive change through philanthropy and mentorship. With a strong foundation in digital marketing and a passion for making the world a better place, I look forward to continuing this exciting and fulfilling journey.
