Elena Marsh runs Ponybuy Starter Notes from Rotterdam, where she founded the desk in 2021. She spent nine years in freight documentation and small-parcel operations before moving to editorial work, and she still writes the order-sequencing guides herself. Her rule for the site is simple: a beginner should be able to follow a checklist once and get the parcel right the first time, without a phone call.
