Marco Varga, a Swiss-born photographer, was a professional soccer player till the age of 25. And now, he is not just a professional photographer, much-admired for his beautiful clicks, but he is also a renowned filmmaker and social media consultant. If there is one person who can teach the present generation a thing or two about having your cake and eating it too, it would be Marco!

His website describes him as a “Creator of quality designs and thinker of fresh ideas” but if you take a look at his early life, Marco was set for a totally different life. Growing up in a pristine Swiss village of Urdorf, Marco started playing soccer at the age of 5. After playing for the village team, FC Urdorf, till the age of 12, Marco was transferred to the prestigious Grasshoppers Club Zurich where he put himself head first into building a career of a professional footballer.

He was one month into his University education and 20-years-old when he signed his first professional soccer contract. It was at that time that he decided to quit the traditional education and focus completely on soccer as a career. He realized his dream and played professional soccer for the next five years. However, at 25, it was time to reorganize his priorities, simply because he could not achieve that stage in his sports life, where he could think of being a soccer player forever.

He took a U-turn towards his University education & became a graduate of the University of Economy in Zurich. After passing out, he went on to work for IBM. But that was again a stopover rather than the final destination.

During his time at University, Marco dabbled in modelling and went on Instagram to share his photographs with his followers. With the increase in his followers on social media, he began to receive influencer campaigns to execute. Then, one thing led to another and soon Marco was wielding the camera to capture images of himself and his surroundings. And now, for the past four years, he has been working as a content creator for several big companies, with his main goal to “produce captivating social media content.” He lives in and operates from Zurich. He is also fluent in English, German and Italian. Marco worked real hard to learn the photography and videography skills such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, etc.

So far, he has done campaigns with such prestigious clients like Zalando, Mercedes, IWC, Hotelplan, Victorinox, Migros, IWC, SIGG, Nirvan Javan, JOBS, Decathlon, etc.

Speaking about the period of his last switch in careers, Marco says, “I started as a fashion influencer as I got more and more attention because of my modelling pictures. But I always saw my modelling career as a 2nd income. It was more a way to earn money than an addiction. I always wanted to travel and take pictures of the beauty of nature.”

After opening his social media content creation company, dmus-media, with a partner, he has been travelling the world with his girlfriend.

Michelle has been a part of the journey ever since Bigtime Daily started. As a strong learner and passionate writer, she contributes her editing skills for the news agency. She also jots down intellectual pieces from categories such as science and health.

Office Logix Shop, founded in 2015 by Obada Mzaik and Kamal Haykal, grew from a garage-based startup into a major force in the refurbished office furniture market. The company runs a showroom in Lewis Center, Ohio, and operates a 60,000-square-foot warehouse, showing its rapid expansion. The demand for sustainable office furniture has propelled its growth in today’s environmentally aware market.

“We started this business with a dream to create comfortable, productive workspaces for everyone,” says Obada Mzaik, co-owner and COO of Office Logix Shop. “Our garage operation has transformed into a full-scale business, showing our dedication to excellence.”

Custom Designs Transform Office Comfort 

Office Logix Shop has created specialized accessories, focusing on headrests for various chair models. The company earned a patent for one of its headrest designs and is pursuing more patents. 

“We excel beyond refurbishment,” Mzaik explains. “Our product line includes headrest accessories and high-quality chair parts, which we engineered for superior ergonomic support and lasting performance.”

Office Logix Shop created the first headrest for the Mirra 2 and Embody, as well as the Leap V2 Headrests. Customers and industry experts have praised its ergonomic designs, valuing its products’ blend of comfort and durability.

Market Success: A $6.5 Million Growth Story 

Office Logix Shop generates annual revenue of $6.5 million, with a yearly growth rate of 35%. The company served over 12,000 customers in the past year, specializing in refurbishing premium brand chairs like Herman Miller and Steelcase. Its bestsellers include the Leap V2 Headrest, Embody Headrest, seat mesh for Aeron chairs (Size B and C), and refurbished Classic Aeron and Leap V2 chairs.

“Our competitive prices and quality standards make us stand out,” Kamal Haykal, co-owner and CEO of Office Logix Shop, states. “We provide complete solutions in the market, offering premium refurbished office furniture and original products.” Its attention to detail has built a loyal customer base across the United States, with repeat customers driving its growth.

Customer Power: Redefining Furniture Service 

Office Logix Shop solves customer challenges through premium refurbished products at lower prices than new items. It stocks a complete inventory of chair parts for refurbishment and creates tutorial videos to help small refurbishers and customers repair their chairs. “Office Logix Shop transforms workspaces, one chair at a time,” Mzaik states.

Its customer support extends beyond sales. It offers a 30-day return policy and a hands-on showroom experience where customers test and compare different products. The company’s repair guides help businesses and individuals maintain their office furniture investments, building a community of skilled customers.

Future Path: Creating Original Designs 

Office Logix Shop is expanding its presence in the high-end office furniture space by continuing to grow its line of signature ergonomic chairs. “We want to keep building on what we’ve started,” says Mzaik. “With our current models, the Nova and the Midan, we’re already offering premium comfort and design at a more accessible price point. Now we’re planning to expand even further, creating more ergonomic seating solutions that are not only high-end but also affordable for everyone.”

The company aims to evolve from a refurbished office furniture specialist to becoming a manufacturer. Office Logix Shop continues to adapt and create, strengthening its position in the office furniture market while prioritizing sustainability and customer satisfaction. Its next phase will bring new products that reflect its competence in ergonomics and sustainability.
