Catch the wave with me, Maddy Jimenez, or as you might know me, @maddysalty, dancing with the ocean right here in San Diego, California. I bring the majesty of the sea and the thrill of the surf into every frame, combining a solid background in marine biology with the art of storytelling through stunning visuals and creative content.

My ocean-loving heart beats in sync with brands that embrace the spirit of adventure and sustainable living. I ride the waves with outdoor, travel, lifestyle, fitness, and healthy living brands, crafting campaigns that blend authentic storytelling with a touch of California's free-spirited beach life. Whether on the local shores or exploring international waters, my collaborations are immersive and impactful.

Join a vibrant tribe of wanderers and drifters gravitating towards the sunlit, salt-kissed life. Predominantly male, aged 25-44, but with a spirited mix of female adventure-seekers, my community stretches across the globe—from the beaches of Baja to the streets of Paris, from the surf spots in Sydney to urban jungles in New York. Together we share the universal language of surf, travel, and the quest for a balanced lifestyle.

Blessed by the Pacific, I am an ocean child based in sunny San Diego. Here, amidst the sand and the waves, I capture the essence of coastal California life. My camera takes me up and down the West Coast, diving into local cultures and hidden seaside gems. Whether it’s riding barrels in Huntington Beach or savoring sunsets in La Jolla, every moment is an invitation to explore, engage, and inspire.
