M A R I S S A A R D I Z Z O N E
I'm a multidisciplinary designer and creative project manager based in NJ with a BFA in Communications Design (Graphic Design) from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY.
Over the past several years, I've grown from hands-on design work into leading creative projects end-to-end. Most recently as a Creative Project Manager & Lead Graphic Designer, where I've managed brand identity, print production, and marketing initiatives for clients across the healthcare and senior living space. My path has included design experience with organizations like Pantone, Major League Baseball, and Dreamwear, giving me a versatile, cross-industry perspective on design and production.
I bring a combination of creative range and project management rigor: fluent in the Adobe Creative Suite, sharp on typography and visual concept development, and just as comfortable steering a project timeline as I am refining a logo. I've managed multi-stakeholder client relationships, led design teams, mentored and onboarded new hires, and kept complex, multi-location projects moving from concept to final print. Clients and colleagues consistently point to me as someone who delivers polished work on deadline, communicates clearly under pressure, and elevates a project's quality at every stage.
I stay closely attuned to design trends and best practices — I'm driven by the challenge of translating a client's vision into something visually compelling and strategically sound.
