Larissa is a unique creative. She is kind, ridiculously talented, smart, hardworking and passionate. She takes any project she’s assigned and breathes new life into it. She’s also a natural beacon of creative leadership. She 100% owns any project she’s on and guides other creatives to their best potential.

Jessica Selander, Founder & CEO at Joyus
Larissa is a rockstar. Plain and simple. On numerous occasions she would put work in front of the client that would leave them asking for more than originally proposed. She’s talented, motivated, artistic, and best of all, down to earth. For Larissa, nothing was ever too big or too small to tackle.

Alyssa Peterson, Senior Resource Manager at Edelman
Larissa is one of the most talented creatives I have ever worked with. She truly brings beauty, boldness, and meaning to everything she creates. Larissa moves seamlessly between techniques and mediums and she thinks like no one else. Forget out of left field. Larissa’s ideas are from freakin’ outer space (in the best way). Even with the most basic, boring brief in-hand—she can deliver fresh, modern, and exciting creative concepts.

Lacey Gonzalez, Associate Creative Director at GMMB Seattle
In her class, I was exposed to a multitude of processes and methods to think systematically about design and exercising creative problem-solving skills. She was a great sounding board for ideas, always finding gems to build from while giving concise feedback on areas of exploration or improvement. She has been incredibly informative and helpful in projects during and since her classes, and I am fortunate to have her as a mentor and resource for my design work moving forward.
