Over two decades of experience in textile and print design can be seen in Marisa’s collaborations with leading names like Phillip Jeffries and Jonathan Adler, as well as bespoke luxury studios such as Calico Wallpaper and Huddleson Linens, and others. These partnerships have shaped her distinct approach: one that integrates concepts with modalities into form.

Her 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 in NYC. Later expanding her lens with a business degree focused on supporting small creative ventures take shape —bringing a balance of intuition, artistry, and structure to every collaboration she takes on.

Her reverence for process is rooted in hands-on experimentation—layering paint, dye, pastels, thread and collage to build rich, expressive surfaces.

Whether through large-scale commissions or one-on-one collaborations, each project is approached as a dialogue—intentional, resonant, and rooted in human connection.
