Shoestring Solutions
Here at IFPA, we've valued our ongoing collaboration with Marissa. Our biggest, and most recent, was the inaugural State of the Industry keynote deck for our global show. She blended creativity and care to ensure alignment with our brand and delivered an incredible product that gave our guests both value and a memorable educational experience. It was brilliant, current and fresh.
CATHY BURNS, CEO, international fresh produce association
We struck gold when we engaged Marissa from Emerson James Design for a range of digital and print design services following our rebranding. She embraced our new brand guidelines and helped us firmly establish our new look across a variety of platforms. Beyond producing solid design work, Marissa just really gets us. She regularly makes recommendations for different design solutions or copy edits, and she is always willing to go the extra mile to get a project just right.
JUDITH GRAHAM KANE, DIRECTOR OF MARKETING AND DEVELOPMENT, READING ASSIST
Emerson James Design helped us transition our small consulting firm brand from a start-up logo and website to a look and feel that matches who we are today. Marissa’s well-developed process made her wonderful to work with, and her branding expertise coupled with her graphic design skills resulted in a rebrand that feels and looks just right!
ELLISHA CAPLAN & LYNN CALDER, CO-PRINCIPALS AND CONSULTANTS, shoestring solutions
Marissa regularly delivers great work in an incredibly timely fashion, I can't recommend working with her enough. She is not just incredibly talented, but also versatile and an incredible person.
KEVIN MALONE, CREATIVE AND DIGITAL EXPERIENCE LEADER, INTERNATIONAL FRESH PRODUCE ASSOCIATION
I was asked to bring new life to a tired annual publication. After an RFP process, I was lucky to hire Marissa Bauman of Emerson James Design, LLC. Marissa was fantastic to work with. She is not only phenomenally talented, patient and a master of the fast turnaround, but she also actively listens to your disjointed thoughts and transforms them into an innovative design that effectively tells your story better than your words ever could. We’ve just completed our third project together and I continue to get rave reviews for the products we’ve produced together. I can’t thank her enough.
MAUREEN FEENEY ROSER, CMSM, SPECIAL PROJECTS, DOWNTOWN VISIONS
While working at SWM International, I worked with Marissa for over 3 years. I was introduced to her from a former employee. She understands consistent branding and does great design work. She has always met our timelines and will even deliver digital assets to publications or trade show sites. I really appreciated when she would send multiple draft ideas to help us decide on the best formats. I am highly recommending Marissa and would share any additional details as a reference when called upon. I hope to work with her again very soon.
