Marissa joined the Mizuno team in March 2012 as a freelance designer for its volleyball and softball lines—the latter of which can be found in Dick’s Sporting Goods stores. The highly respected maker of active wear and sports apparel uses the tagline Never Settle™, and the company lives that philosophy every day. Marissa is finding it especially rewarding to design for a brand that sets such high standards and won’t settle for anything less.

BORELLI Design and Oakley have entered into a co-branding arrangement on BORELLI drirelease scarves. The high-performance, multi-use wraps that are being marketed by Oakley have both the BORELLI Design and Oakley logos imprinted on them and can be used as a scarf, dress, skirt, blanket, or even a yoga mat carrier. Look for the colorful wraps being proudly worn by Oakley’s stable of world-class athletes at a variety of sporting events.
