"Marissa consistently surpasses my expectations with her exceptional skills and creativity. She seamlessly combined her expertise with my vision, resulting in a final product that blew my mind. What sets Marissa apart is her ability to not only understand and execute her client’s ideas but also elevate them to a whole new level.
I truly appreciated Marissa's approach to feedback – she creates an environment where honest critique is not only welcomed but encouraged. Working with Marissa is a true collaborative journey where your input is valued and prioritized.
One of Marissa's most remarkable attributes is her incredible turnaround time. I remain in awe of how efficiently she brings ideas to life without compromising quality.
If you have any lingering business or branding projects that have been on your to-do list for longer than you’d like to admit, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Marissa. She is an invaluable asset that makes investing in her services undoubtedly worth every penny.”

"Marissa is incredible to say the least and she is a MUST HAVE in your business! I reached out to Marissa at the end of last year after a friend referred her to me. With 26 weddings booked for this year I had to have help! I was incredibly overwhelmed and burnt out, and just needed more time in my business and life to do the things I love!
From the moment Marissa and I talked I knew we were the perfect fit. Not only is she one of the kindest and most genuine people you'll ever meet, she is extremely organized, her communication is incredible, and her turn around times are absolutely unreal! She has walked me through every step and makes the outsourcing process so simple! Marissa has saved me so many late nights, tears upon tears, and time! She is absolutely invaluable in my business and there is no way I would function or run a successful business without her! If you are considering hiring her, just do it! It will be the best decision you've ever made in your business!"
- JOSIE KITCH
"Where do I even begin with how incredible Marissa is.
She has played a pivotal role in my business over the last 4 years. From my editor to my website and brand designer, she has been such an asset to me.
She recently redid my brand and website for me and went above and beyond my expectations. Her significant help with my SEO has already proven to be successful within weeks of launching my new site.
She is precise and professional and does not treat you as a client, but a friend. I cannot recommend her enough!"
