Marisa was exactly the creative professional I needed to make my new website a reality. In addition to a website, I needed a new logo, portrait, and digital portfolio; what the pros call “branding”—all of which she handled expertly and with great creativity. Marisa got my brand identity immediately and ran with it, executing the design in a way I could’ve never imagined.

Marisa handled herself with utmost professionalism. She has emotional intelligence and exceptional interpersonal skills. I cannot recommend Marisa highly enough.

We have been working with Marisa for several years now and couldn’t be happier. She handles all of our graphic design needs—from the design of our website to album covers and everything in between. In particular, she’s really adept at our eBlasts. They’ve been continually inventive and interesting and have stayed true to our brand, which has been the tricky part with past designers we’ve had. Highly recommend.

Getting referred to Marisa was really fortunate. She has enormous creativity, energy, and poise. She was not shy about pushing back on some of my staid ideas and freely shared different approaches to solve a variety of problems. I have taught management at top MBA schools; I know talent when I see it. You can't go wrong with Marisa.

OH MY WORD.... I really don't know what to say about all this, Marisa. It is just PHENOMENAL. ALL CAPS is all I can do to express my feelings on this. JUST WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I absolutely love it ALL. There's nothing to be changed. It's all so goddamn cool. What else can I say??? You really are talented. Your customer service is just the cherry on top, but both are important and you've nailed it.

So...now what??? Do I start another business and we do this again, or what?!?
