ABOUT
Hi/hej/g'day!
I'm Marisa, and in various creative roles - from designer to AD - I've demonstrated a passion for authentic brand storytelling, collaboration and bringing ideas to life based on a strong rationale. I have versatile design background, a can-do attitude and love of life-long learning.
Pivoting somewhat from a conventional corporate creative path, I found myself working more with styling and content creation, receiving a book deal in the process. Most recently I've brought my experience and enthusiasm for consumable content to freelance projects for numerous brands.
Across diverse sectors including beauty and food, my interest in lifestyle-related projects has remained constant.
​
I have a Bachelor of Visual Communication from the University of South Australia, and I am a recent Design Lead graduate from Hyper Island, Stockholm.
All forms of media interest me, from print to video.
Most of all, I love creating from a place of purpose, insight and empathy -
with people, for people!

(I'm friendly, I promise!)
