ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Justice Studio

Justice Studio Office space, North-East London 2016-2018
Marianne founded Justice Studio in 2011 when she was 29 years old. She was passionate about social justice and saw the need for empathetic consultancy in the sector. Frustrated by the alternatives, she wanted to try and do it differently. She wanted to see if she could create a consultancy driven by compassion but which was still effective and provided a quality service to charities, and governments over the world.
Today Justice Studio is still going strong. It has a clever, compassionate and dedicated team working to improve the social justice sector through research and consultancy services. For more information on Justice Studio visit the site links below.
