It’s unusual to find someone like Marisa who can crank out beautiful designs quickly but also understand the impact that her designs have on product management, engineers, and business stakeholders.

Marisa consistently demonstrated her expertise in user-centric design principles and could translate complex business requirements into intuitive and visually appealing user experiences...and she did so promptly, given our fast-paced environment this is an incredible skill I admire.

Marisa has a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of user-centered design principles, resulting in products that are not only visually appealing but also highly functional. Her unique ability to understand and empathize with users, allows her to uncover unmet needs and pain points in our product.

Marisa is a rare cross-functional standout talent. From Design, Research, Voice of Customer (VOC) to contributing to product innovation and definition, Marisa brings it! I appreciate how she brings her best to the table each and every day. She has a passion for her product areas, empathy for her constituency and a distinct point of view.
