storytelling
for impact.
Brand Strategy, Storytelling & Web Design
I’m Marisa. I help change-makers and career-changers find their voice and share their stories to deepen human connections, build bridges, grow communities, and inspire positive action.
KEEPING IT REAL. KEEPING IT HUMAN.
cultivating CLARITY
authenticity
& CONNECTION.
We live in a fast-paced, automated, and isolating world. We’re drowning in content, swimming in a sea of sameness, and struggling to be seen and heard. I believe the antidote to this is sharing our stories and uniting in community — where people can feel safe to show up as they are, connect on a deeper human level, and spark real meaningful change.
My Sweet Spots

BUILDING YOUR BRAND & INFLUENCE
Like a sounding board, I help you shape your narrative and raise your visibility. My clients are typically founders, consultants, change-makers or changing careers. Their missions are lofty, their experience rich and varied. Consolidating it may not come easily. Through deep work, we'll break through to your brand essence and story, and craft a plan to amplify your influence.

REFINING YOUR STRATEGY & MESSAGING
Whether you’re launching, rebranding, stuck or expanding, I’ll help you open your creative tap, find your angle and voice, and refine your messaging and stories to move your audience to action. Through a holistic and personalized process, we’ll clarify your vision and goals, identify what needs to shift, illustrate your ideas with the right words and images, and breathe new life into your business.

SCALING YOUR COMMUNITY & IMPACT
In this age of remote work and AI, I’m a staunch believer in human connection. I’ve curated live events for founders, and led workshops on storytelling, thought leadership, and building your unique brand. I’ve co-founded a community offering IRL experiences to bring more balance to digital life for parents and teens, and another for professionals seeking hope and connection in these challenging times.
