CliftonStrengths: Achiever | Responsibility | Individualization | Belief | Strategic

Hi, I’m Marissa, the creative mind behind Visuals by ME. As a Dallas-based visual designer, I specialize in crafting strategic brand identities and websites that not only look stunning but also drive results.

With a deep passion for helping mission-driven organizations, I believe great design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about communicating your vision, building trust, and creating meaningful connections with your audience.

My Approach:
Every design choice is intentional, I blend:

  • Strategy – Rooted in business goals
  • Creativity – Unique, tailored visuals with purpose
  • User Experience – Ensuring seamless, intuitive interactions

Beyond Design:
When I’m not crafting brand experiences, you’ll find me:

  • Watching jaw-clinching suspenseful movies (my fellow 🦖Jurassic Park fans can now enter the chat).
  • Indulging in something good (but probably not good for me—hello, pizza! 🍕).
  • Sipping a frozen mocha at a coffee shop.
  • I also love drifting off into a good book.
  • Serving at my local church and in the community.
  • And most importantly, spending time with my best friend—my husband ❤️

For those interested in my CliftonStrengths, here’s how my strengths show up in my life:

  • 1 Achiever®
    I work hard and possess a great deal of stamina. I take immense satisfaction in being busy and productive.
  • 2 Responsibility®
    I take psychological ownership of what I say I will do. I am committed to stable values such as honesty and loyalty.
  • 3 Individualization®
    I am intrigued with each person’s unique qualities. I have a gift for figuring out how different people can work together productively.
  • 4 Belief®
    I have certain unchanging core values. Out of these values emerges a defined purpose for my life.
  • 5 Strategic®
    I create alternative ways to proceed. Faced with any given scenario, I can quickly spot the relevant patterns and issues.

Now that you know more about me, let’s create something impactful together!

A few kind words

Words from former or current coworkers.

“Marissa had many strengths with our company but her eye for graphics, her positivity, and her drive for success stuck out to me. She truly makes creativity look easy and is so clean about her lines and her work. She also always came into work with a smile and offered many positive vibes to flow out through our social media pages which I feel is both a stem and a result of her drive to be successful.

Working with Marissa again would be a truly rewarding experience! As an intern, working alongside many experienced individuals, she held herself together as an entire marketing department and let her work shine. My overall experience working with Marissa was absolutely great and I’m confident she would be a strong asset for any team she is a part of!”

“Marissa is great both in a team environment and working independently. During white board and brain storming sessions she is very vocal and contributes with great energy. When assigned to a task or project she always delivers on time and presents with well thought out solutions.

There is a on going project with a retail website that Marissa has really took ownership of. She will continually evaluate and make improvements to the site in-between client projects. We have taken Marissa’s evaluations and converted them into new features to create a better user experience.

I am proud to have worked with Marissa. She was dropped into a team and fit in perfectly. In many situations she has surpassed exceptions to now it has become the norm when working with Marissa.
