Hey, I'm Marissa!

I've collected a lot of titles over the years: dog mom, amateur gardener, self-proclaimed cool aunt. But the reason you're here (presumably) is because I also happen to carry the title of art director. I have a knack for colorful compositions, outside-of-the-box thinking, and quick, creative problem-solving. Where most people see a wall, I see opportunity - in like a "woah I've never tried using a sledgehammer before, let's give it a go!" kind of way. I’m inspired by bright colors, interesting people, and all things vintage.
