WELCOME

I'm Marissa. MBA, graphic designer, lover of sunshine and tacos. I have 2 amazing kiddos that keep me on my toes, a fantastic husband, and an Airedale Terrier named Duke.

I'm a master at picking up Legos, and teach graphic design to amazing online students at BYU-Idaho. Nice to meet you!

We're in the final countdown for General Conferenc

We're in the final countdown for General Conference! Last night it hit me - taking notes is more fun when you've got something bright and happy to do it with!
So I got to work crafting a page in fun colors (it prints just as well in black and white too). The layout is similar to how I've taken notes for years, but you can read all about it in the http://ow.ly/4MBr50z5jh2 hope is that with bright pages and a streamlined design the focus will be on the personal revelation you're receiving & your pages will be a pep talk in the weeks to come about all you've learned and should do moving forward. At least that's the plan I have in mind for mine!

They'd also be a great item to print and drop off with a new Conference Ensign in the weeks to come to the sisters you minister to or a dear friend. Grab your own file here

The struggle is real. I thought more time at home

The struggle is real. I thought more time at home would make it easier to get the laundry done - wrong. My kiddos still seem to try to go through more than 1 outfit a day.
Truth is, I just don't love laundry and I'm starting to think it feels the same way about me. However, it has to be done and I spent a few minutes today tidying up my laundry room and was reminded just how much I liked the few added decor touches I made a few months back - this Laundry sign being one of them.
If you'd like to grab the customizable print (yep - you can put your own name in at the top there and make your own print in a matter of minutes) you can find it here: http://ow.ly/4coh50z0sAL

So you've watched some tutorials, or taken a class

So you've watched some tutorials, or taken a class and you've got some skills - but how do you put things all together? Where do you start when it comes to creating a custom design piece that you can print out, hang up and show off?
I've been there too. You learn a cool thing from an online tutorial, but that's where your skills start and stop. My online university design students have the same type of complaints - "I've got the tools and some know-how, but I'm stumped on how to pull it all together and create what I have in mind". One of the things that I wanted to be sure I included in the Digital Printables - Simplified course was a few video tutorials to help you create something start-to-finish. What started as 1 or 2 projects ended up being 6 full projects in a variety of different styles and I may even mention a few ideas of how you can put them to use!

I'd love to have you create with us and right now you can get access to the course at an early-bird price. To learn more and see all that's included: http://ow.ly/SCLr50z0rNQ

I love the Adobe Creative Suite - always have, alw

I love the Adobe Creative Suite - always have, always will. It's what I use for my clients and it makes sense for me - I'm a graphic designer after all.
But what if you're an entrepreneur and just need to get some things done? Or maybe you're a someone that wants to learn how to design but doesn't have the budget for expensive software just so you can get started or "try it out"? If you fall into this second category (and I'll be honest, I use it quite a bit too) Canva may be a great option. It's a online graphic design software that offers all the basics and some more advanced features for a small monthly price.
If you're still wondering what all you could do if you knew a little bit of design and had access to a program... I've made a list.
Here's 33 Ways You Can Use Canva for Work: http://ow.ly/ahIG50z0qD2

Every semester students tell me they’re not arti

Every semester students tell me they’re not artists, which means they can’t be graphic designers. My response...I’m not an artist either. But I can draw simple shapes... and they can too. The more complex items are really just a bunch of simple shapes put together. In this course I show you how it works, and how you can learn to do it too, in the FREE version of an online design program. Start learning and creating with my designed-for-beginners course, Digital Printables- Simplified. Link in bio.

Prepare for General Conference with a paper clip!

Prepare for General Conference with a paper clip! I learned this skill my first year of seminary and I’ve stuck with the practice ever since. If you’re seeking answers to hard questions or peace during troubled times preparing for conference will help the personal revelation flow. We’re talking about questions and seeking answers for FHE tomorrow. You can learn about the paper clip prep and grab a cute download over on the blog.
