Meet the Designer

I’m Marlissa and I’m a UX Design Lead. I currently live in Washington, D.C. but I grew up in Florida where I graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University with a B.A. and a Concentration in Digital Media Design.

Today, I work on projects across all our different touch-points from our customer-facing products (website and app) to our in-clinic interfaces (Salesforce). I am experienced in juggling multiple projects at the same time and working with quick turnarounds/fast timelines.

I have extensive Figma knowledge, as well as experience in Adobe XD and other Adobe Creative Suite products. I have experience working in Monday.com, Jira, Wrike, and ClickUp for project management and developer communications. When approaching designs, I am very detail-oriented, prioritize Mobile-first designs, and keep ADA-compliance as a top priority.

One of my primary goals in life is to always maintain a learning posture. I try to learn something new every day to grow my own understandings and further develop my skills.
