Marissa is an award-winning art director, graphic designer, and educator born and raised in Philadelphia. Passionate about concept development and research, she uses design as a tool to question, challenge, and reframe traditional narratives. By blending research-driven methods with poetic storytelling, Marissa creates work that invites reflection, sparks dialogue, and encourages audiences to see the familiar in new ways.
Marissa’s design has been recognized by Graphic Design USA, AIGA Philadelphia, AIGA Baltimore, and Print Design Awards.
As an educator, Marissa is committed to helping students develop self-awareness and gain a deeper understanding of their unique creative processes, empowering them to thrive in an ever-evolving industry while remaining grounded in their sense of self.
Outside of design, Marissa enjoys taking film photographs, indulging her love of food culture, traveling, and spending time with her pets. Go birds.
