My Story

 

Creativity & design came to me at a young age. When my grandmother watched me as a child, we spent hours coloring, drawing, and painting. I found art in everything growing up, from the color palettes used in movies to labels on products at the grocery store. In high school, I decided to take Graphic Art as my elective. This made my passion stronger and I knew since Freshman year that design would be my college major. You could find me in the graphics room any free chance I had, even creating an independent study when I ran out of classes to take.

 

I began my first creative job with a local music booking agency. Here, I set up the website and advertised through social media. I learned it wasn’t only graphic design that I was enthusiastic about, but website design and digital marketing as well.

 

I attended Moravian College for Graphic & Interactive Design. In college, I took three different internships for credits and enjoyed the work at each business. I learned how diverse this industry can be by designing for ArtsQuest, Historic Bethlehem & The Moravian College Career Center over three consecutive semesters. I realized that every business I began working for, was a whole new adventure giving me the opportunity to help these businesses create their vision and attract their ideal visitors to their events.

 

My senior year I had the opportunity to start freelancing on the side. I fell in love with working for multiple businesses and helping them succeed. This is when I began Marisa Lucy Design, LLC and it has been a truly rewarding experience. To this day, I am still working for those initial freelance clients and have also been contracted to work by my previous internships while adding numerous small businesses, start-up companies, and corporations to my portfolio.
