About

Hello! I’m Marissa, a graphic designer in San Francisco. I was born and raised in Seattle, so I love the sound of the rain and the smell of coffee (though I only drink tea). I went to college in San Diego, where I graduated with a degree in Art History, so I also like the beach and the giant Robert Irwin installation at the MCASD. After moving to New York and getting a second degree—this time in Graphic Design from Parsons—I fell in love with the subway while working as a designer for Landor. I eventually made it back to the West Coast and have been happily entrenched in the San Francisco design community ever since. 

In my spare time, I enjoy relief printmaking and trying (and then later abandoning) lots of different crafts.
