3. Discovering Digital Creativity
While juggling school and part-time work, I found my curiosity pulling me toward the digital world.
Web design became my playground, where I could blend creativity, technology, and strategy into tangible results for businesses.
When the pandemic hit, I faced new challenges head-on—balancing remote learning, part-time work, and funding my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a focus on Marketing here in Canada. Those experiences taught me resilience, adaptability, and the importance of self-motivation. They also gave me the opportunity to explore digital solutions in real-time, reinforcing my passion for web design and marketing as tools to help businesses thrive, even in uncertain times.
2. Growing People Skills
From fine dining to international cafes, I honed communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. I learned to anticipate needs, manage expectations, and build lasting relationships; lessons that still guide how I collaborate with clients today.
It was during these early experiences that I realized how much I loved creating solutions that make people’s lives easier. Whether streamlining a process, designing an experience, or finding the right words to connect, I discovered that thoughtful attention to detail and genuine care can turn ordinary interactions into meaningful results; a principle I bring to every website and marketing project I take on.
4. First Professional Steps
I stepped into my first web design role, crafting responsive, user-centered websites, creating engaging content, and implementing SEO strategies. I learned the balance between aesthetics and functionality, ensuring websites not only looked good but delivered results.
5. From Designer to Strategist
At Geeks on the Beach, I leveled up as a Junior Art Director, guiding UX/UI, digital marketing campaigns, and online reputations. I discovered that design isn’t just about visuals; it’s about crafting experiences that resonate, convert, and grow brands.
6. Launching My Freelance Journey in Canada
After graduating in 2022, I jumped right in. With Marisa Turner Design, I embraced full creative freedom. Every client taught me more about branding, storytelling, and digital marketing strategy. I combine web design with social media guidance, SEO, and analytics to ensure every project thrives.
1. Early Hustle
I got my start in the world of work delivering newspapers, waiting tables, and learning the art of connection. Those early jobs taught me discipline, resilience, and how to read people, a skill that would later become invaluable in understanding clients and their audiences.
7. Switzerland - Current Expertise
Today at Picture-Planet GmbH, I bridge the gap between software, web, and marketing. I guide clients on workflow systems, SEO strategies, social media growth, and web analytics, turning complex tools into actionable results that elevate brands.
