I managed the delivery of our Android Developer projects when I worked with Marissa, and it was a privilege to have her on our team as a product designer. Over the year that we worked together, Marissa established herself as a go-to problem solver and reliable team player, and continued to leverage skillsets critical to the success of our product and project outcomes (UX improvements, UI prototyping, and stakeholder management, just to name a few). As a small but impactful example, Marissa helped create landing page design templates that multiple tech writing and marketing teams use to this day - a true testament to the quality and vision she had for our design system that supports over 10k pages. I can't recommend her enough - I'm sure she'll continue to perform as a designer and all-around awesome human.
