Marisa Davis is an artist, designer, and collaborator working at the intersection of storytelling, materiality, and interior space. With over two decades of experience in textile and print design, her work has been featured in collaboration with leading names like Phillip Jeffries and Jonathan Adler, as well as bespoke luxury studios such as Calico Wallpaper and Huddleson Linens. These partnerships have shaped her distinct approach: one that integrates beauty, intention, and constraint to transform conceptual ideas into poetic, tangible form.

Marisa’s creative path began in costume design at Columbia College Chicago, then evolved into a BFA in Textile and Surface Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology. She later expanded her lens through a business degree focused on supporting small creative ventures—bringing a balance of intuition, artistry, and structure to every collaboration she takes on.

Her deep reverence for process is rooted in hands-on experimentation—layering paint, dye, abrasion, pastels, and collage to build rich, expressive surfaces that speak to place, memory, and emotion.

In a time when speed and sameness dominate, Marisa’s work offers a counterpoint: slow-crafted woven landscapes, custom print design, and fabric-based art that ground and elevate the spaces they inhabit. Whether through large-scale commissions or one-on-one collaborations, each project is approached as a dialogue—intentional, resonant, and rooted in human connection. Not because the tools of automation can’t—but because her hands can.
