about
RISE CREATIVE
HELLO! I'M MARISA SWITZER, and just like you i was a corporate dropout who left to pursue starting a brand with a mission.
IF YOU LOOKED BACK ON MY LIFE, YOU’D FIND 12-YEAR-OLD ME LINING THE WALLS OF MY BEDROOM WITH MAGAZINE PAGES, INSPIRED BY BOTH THE EDITORIAL DESIGN & INCREDIBLE CREATIVITY OF THE FASHION INDUSTRY. I GREW UP WATCHING KELL ON EARTH, THE RACHEL ZOE PROJECT, PROJECT RUNWAY, & MORE, COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS UNTIL I COULD GET A 'REAL FASHION JOB' IN NEW YORK.
I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO START WORKING IN THAT INDUSTRY AT THE AGE OF 15. from there, i was able to experience SO MANY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES & JOBS WITHIN THE INDUSTRY. BUT IN 2014, I found myself sitting at a desk, at my dream job at one of the biggest fashion magazine publishers in new york, and i felt completely unfulfilled. I wasn't serving anyone, i wasn't helping anyone & i wanted my career to have so much more meaning.
TO DATE, RISE HAS SERVED OVER 150 E-COMMERCE BRANDS IN BUILDING A STRATEGIC, AND INTENTIONAL BRAND THAT CONNECTS WITH THE HEART OF THEIR TARGET CONSUMERS, WHILE UNIQUELY POSITIONING THEM TO STAND OUT IN THEIR INDUSTRY.
from 2010 - 2016: i had the pleasure of working in pr & marketing at launchmetrics, starworks group, hearst publications, & nineteenth amendment.
To date rise has served over 150 brands around the world, with missions impacting populations within the u.s., canada, the u.k., nepal. india. mexico, united arab emirates, pakistan, saudi arabia, kenya, uganda, and more.

“THE ONBOARDING WAS EXQUISITE, THE IN-DEPTH UNDERSTANDING OF MY TARGET CUSTOMER WAS EXCEPTIONAL, THE TIMELY TURNAROUND WAS INCREDIBLE, AND THE QUALITY OF WORK WAS JUST OUTSTANDING! I AM SO HAPPY WITH MY DECISION TO WORK WITH RISE.”
Emma Golden / EMMASTHING
"MAKING THE DECISION TO INVEST IN MY OWN WEBSITE AND SPEND THE MONEY TO WORK WITH A TRUE PROFESSIONAL WHO HELPED ME REALIZE MY VISION WAS BY FAR THE SMARTEST THING I BOUGHT THIS YEAR. IF YOU HAVE A WEBSITE OR A BRAND THAT YOU’RE LOOKING TO CREATE, REDESIGN, REIMAGINE, ETC., RISE CREATIVE IS IT."
Michelle Urso / OMI
"I AM OBSESSED. I literally have no words, this is so freakin beautiful and perfect!! You captured everything I was dreaming of and more. "
Shelby Spencer / SHELBY SPENCER PHOTOGRAPHY
I cannot recommend Rise enough. I had lots of ideas but no clear direction on where to take my business. Marisa picked up on my vision so quickly, and just ran with it. Every time I got an email from her I was blown away and stumped for feedback because it was always so perfect. And now I have a clear business direction and strategy that feels like ME and has me so excited to relaunch!
Merritt Beck / BECK & CALL PODCAST
"I did a two day design intensive with Marisa and was so pleased with the quality of work and turnaround time for our project!! I was eager to get my podcast website up and running, and she made it happen. I absolutely love the branding/logos she created for my podcast and podcast website, and think she really understood what I was going for!"
