Creating work that resonates, motivated by who I partner with:

“She is a rare design talent with an eye for detail and an innate sense of empathy - enabling her to understand briefs deeply and respond with thoughtful and impressive solutions. Her work ethic, enthusiasm and commitment to her role was always exceptional.”

— Claire Evrard, Fogbow and Common Modern

“Marisa’s ability to create elegant yet powerful design solutions is unparalleled. She has a unique eye for the right level of simplification and I trust her taste and design instinct completely. Not to mention, she is incredibly easy to work with and always exceeds my expectations.”

— Eva Rebek, Buena Vida

“I come from the DIY generation. I spent a lot of my time trying figuring out some things I shouldn’t have been worrying about and I became fully aware of it when I worked with Marisa. Being a team is much better than being solo. Sharing your own ideas with someone is the first step to actualize it. Marisa helped me to give a professional image to my project. She believed in it from the very early stages. She worked on my side accommodating and anticipating all my needs, having always gentle words of support. I feel honored to have had this remarkable contribution from a graceful, supportive, and professional such as Marisa.”

— Paola Gallio, Tappeto Volante Gallery

“Marisa is one of the most talented and professional designers I have ever worked with. She always conducts herself with unusual grace and integrity. Marisa has the ability to address complex strategic business objectives by translating them into seemingly effortless, elegant design solutions….at once, a highly skilled problem solver and a true artist.”

— Simon Lince, Virtue and Hot Sauce

“Marisa is one of the most talented and creative designers I know. She approaches every project with enthusiasm and sensitivity and has an amazing ability to transform even a mundane brief into a butterfly. She pours her curiosity for learning and her many influences into her work and always creates unique and memorable designs.”

— Siobhán Lonergan, Fogbow
