With experience in B2B, B2C, and non-profits, I provide enterprise solutions that align business goals with user needs.
I love crafting thoughtful design solutions that improve people’s lives.

View Case StudyWhen I design user experiences, these are the aspects of the process I enjoy most and truly shine in.
My default first step in any project I begin, I dive deep to understand users, businesses, and sectors better.
Inspired by my time improving various mission-driven organizations, I create connections through derived insights.
Informed by research, I empathize with users to explore ways they navigate with products beyond the digital.
Informed by my design background, I have a strong attention to detail and an appreciation for aesthetics.
Marisa strikes the perfect balance of creativity, empathy, and technical know-how.

Marisa was exceptionally communicative, professional and engaging throughout our work with her. She took the time to truly understand the mission of our business, and what we wanted to convey as our message. In fact, her insight as a designer helped us hone and clarify our vision through open-hearted conversations, advice and guidance in the design process. We highly recommend her services and look forward to working with her again.

When I'm not designing user experiences, you can find me expressing myself in various means.
I seek to express visual storytelling that captures human connection, place, and landscape.
I enjoy creating with mixed-media on large canvases and pushing the boundaries on creative expression.
I enjoy playful expression at its best. It is a delightful medium for embodying supportive team play and collaboration.
