About Marni Blank

Begin With the End - as a Death Doula/End-of-Life Planner, my goal is to create a safe space to learn and talk about death, dying & grief. This includes accountability in completing advance care directives & end-of-life planning, creating legacy projects, and helping with pre and post death logistics. I bring deep compassion, active listening, practical resources and a healthy dose of humor to her work. The more we connect with our families, communities and ourselves, the less fear plays into these important discussions and decisions. Blank Studio/Blank Upstate - I bring my operations and problem solving experience to create warm and inviting spaces for people to create and connect. Blank Studio is a creative rental studio in SOHO NY, a classic loft designed for photography, showrooms, corporate off-sites and intimate events. I began my career as a lawyer, working both for the Federal and NYC government. Ultimately realizing law was not my passion, I switch paths to real estate while co-founding Blank Studio NYC with my sister in 2016. I maintain my real estate license at Tungsten Property in Soho, NY. My background allows me to wear many hats at the studio as Director of Operations; I focus on problem solving, research, providing an excellent customer experience and—most importantly— helping clients execute on their visions. These skills translated perfectly into the Blank Farmhouse, our Catskills Airbnb where I oversee client communications and property management. We now offer airbnb consulting and design services.
