Konstantina has successfully launched and run a luxury brand as well as recently a new venture in media. Beginning September 2022, eight story driven, forty minute profile podcasts have been produced. Conversational style interviews with an evidence of diligent research and a respectful individualistic, credible and compassionate delivery have been well received by her guests. A previously established extensive social media following has drawn a loyal and growing listening audience.

Exhibited at the premier industry shows, some of those internationally in Paris, France. Established professional relationships with luxury purveyors and players such as Saks 5th Ave, Fred Segal, Stanley Korshak and Le Musee Des Arts Decoratifs, amongst others.
Scouted and appeared on QVC at onset of design career.
Architectural Digest invitee for New York 2006. Trade and academic guest speaker on entrepreneurship, marketing and branding.
Awards within the jewelry industry, marketing industry and design (interiors) industry from 2006 through 2012. Mahlia Collection and Konstantina as a designer and entrepreneur earned editorial placements awards, speaking engagements as well as collectors of her work. The jewelry brand went direct to consumer in 2015. Mahlia Collection is now sold exclusively to collectors. Social media gave Mahlia Collection several platforms to begin establishing a persona of influence and so it was natural that Boldly Feminine - begun as a brand initiative that would support the fashion designs - would take on its own life as a new podcast, which launched in September of 2022. The followers want the whole lifestyle package that touches upon political beliefs, social values, politics, fashion, health and wellness and conscientious consumerism. Guests are chosen with bearing towards their experience, conscientiousness, exceptionalism, expertise, survival skills and humanism. The conversations have been congenial, temperate, mutually gratifying and collaborative.
