who am i?
I've designed brands, photographed airports, made therapy dogs famous, convinced people to donate with sheep puns, and turned investigative journalism into social videos.
Somewhere along the way, I realized my favorite part isn't the medium, it's the challenge. I love finding the idea that makes people stop, smile, think, or see something in a completely new way. If you're looking for a designer who likes checking boxes, I'm probably not your person. If you're looking for someone who's endlessly curious and excited by creative problems, keep scrolling.

“I had the pleasure of working with Marissa and was constantly impressed by her creativity and attention to detail. Every design she produced was thoughtful, polished, and purposeful. I honestly do not recall seeing a single piece of work I did not like. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented designer.”
