"Marissa and I worked together as a Product Manager/Designer duo and she’s an absolute pleasure - I was honored to consider her my partner!... She is thorough, curious, detail-oriented, and handles ambiguity with grace. She worked incredibly well with our Engineering team as well as across the other pods and teams to ensure she has uncovered every detail needed to move an Epic forward to development. She’s an incredible partner and I know that whoever has the pleasure to work with her next will not be disappointed."
-Lani Lloyd
Product Manager
"Marissa was an exceptional user experience designer on our team. Her previous training, combined with her interest in learning and her devotion to our team's goals, make her an exceptional researcher, problem-solver, and presenter... Her work on our team ran the gamut of customer interviews, usability studies, interactive prototypes, and technical drawings. We worked within a design system and extended it where necessary. Our co-workers appreciated her clarity and decisiveness. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a user experience designer. She would be an asset to any team."
-Andrew Kleppner
Principal UX Designer
"Marissa has the powerhouse combination you want in a designer of executing on business needs while having great empathy for end users. I worked directly with Marissa for over a year and in that time she exceeded expectations working on the most complex areas of the eVisit application ... and was the only designer that was able to launch insurance verification in the product after multiple years of failed launches due to user experience limitations. Marissa’s drive to always improve allowed her to positively impact company culture as well as her peers."
-Jacob Boddeker
Senior Director of Product
"Marissa successfully provided the product designs for a team of engineers while working closely with the Product Management team to ensure the solutions we delivered met customer and business needs... Marissa had a sharp eye for detail and a clear vision of the user experience, and she was able to communicate these to others on the team and throughout the organization both clearly and effectively. She was also easy to work with, very collaborative, and clearly cared about the experience our users had utilizing our application. I would highly recommend Marissa to any organization needing an effective and talented product designer."
-Nathan Rasch
Director of Product and Engineering
"Marissa is a self-starter who joined Quickbase and within weeks was contributing value to a highly complex and multi-faceted product. She was always eager to present work in front of the UX team to gather feedback and improve her designs, and she prioritized design iteration, usability testing, and user research in her process. Furthermore, her kindness and collaborative nature make her an absolute pleasure to work with. Without a doubt, Marissa is the kind of designer any organization would be lucky to have. She’ll make an impact wherever she decides to share her talents."
