Bio
Lara DeSignor
Lorissa is one of those hidden graphic design gems that just gets it. If you can imagine it, she can deliver it (and take it to the next level). She's raised the bar with our digital (and print for retail) content and has made my team look like super stars. She's also quick, easy to work with and super responsive. One of the best I've worked with and I would highly recommend her without hesitation.
Hasan Kadenić
I have worked with Lorissa on many occasions and it was always a pleasure. She has great work ethics and her work output is absolutely fantastic. Lorissa's skill set includes both frontend and backend design. She produces wonderful-classic-clean layouts where content shines and code foundation is always the W3C standard. Her portfolio of work is absolutely rich and amazing. Make sure you check it out. Lorissa is also a great photographer.I highly recommend her services.
Jeffrey Yamaguchi
A fantastic designer, and a fantastic person to work with. I have thrown all manner of projects at Lorissa, from last minute ecards to major, high profile, complex sites that involve both a front-end look and a back-end CMS (such as jgrisham.com), and I am always extremely impressed by the results. Lorissa brings a fresh look to every project, thinks through and creates solutions for any issue, understands and takes into account the needs of the client, and insures an all-around positive user experience. Highly recommended.
