HELLO!
My name is Marissa
I'm a graphic designer/artist who lives in the small town of Assonet, In 2009, I received a BFA in Graphic Design and Technology from Emmanuel College. Since then, I've been trying everything I can to stay creative. Aside from my work as a Graphic Designer, I can be found creating jewelry, painting, taking pictures, and drawing. I've always been fond of the arts and also participate in a local theatre group, The Collective NB, in New Bedford, MA
Work Experience
Precision Images, Inc.
Graphic Design Manager
2010 - present
Precision Images, Inc. proudly states itself as a service bureau that offers an array of services for its customers. While working there, I have been encouraged to grow as a designer and printing professional by learning new techniques with large format printers and direct-imaging processes. I have also learned a great deal about the etching industry by creating photo-film tools that are used for etching metal materials in both the industrial and decorative applications. It is with these experiences that I have been able to learn about the jewelry industry and different methods of jewelry formation. This has furthermore lead me to start designing my own materials.
SOCO Magazine
Production Assistant
2009 - 2010
I began working at SOCO as an intern after graduating from college. After a couple of months, I was offered a position to work as a production assistant where I was able to oversee and learn about the ins and outs of putting a printed magazine together. I helped create ads for sponsors/customers, re-designed logos, and previewed the layout of the pages towards the end of each month.
Theatrical Design
Over the years, I've built a strong admiration for the theatrical arts with performing on stage and taking part in various design work including Set Design and Painting, Poster Design, and Prop/Mask Design. I've worked with several local theatre groups inlcuding:
The Village Players
Emmanuel College Theatre Group
