My name is Marissa and I'm a front end developer! I started out in life as a musician, worked as an elementary band director in public education for seven years, and recently made a career pivot into development. I really enjoy the problem-solving aspect and detail-driven nature of building user-friendly interfaces! Web accessibility and good documentation appeal to my inner teacher, while my instrumental side loves the camaraderie of seeking out advice and differing viewpoints from my teammates. Feel free to poke around my portfolio here, and shoot me an email if I can answer any questions!

Projects

Adobe Spectrum CSS

As part of the Spectrum CSS team, we migrated our CSS into a brand new design language, while also migrating documentation into Storybook.

NCSBN

Over the course of several projects, I became very familiar with the NCSBN pattern library, so when a redesign of their marketing site came up with a very tight timeline, I was able to contribute to the technical strategy.

Accessible Components

During my apprenticeship, our capstone project included creating an educational site dedicated to web accessibility best practices.
