Little Ole Me
Hi, I’m Marissa, a graphic designer in the Global Communications department at Tenneco, an automotive supplier. My passion for art started the moment I could hold a pencil, and I’m grateful to have found graphic design as a way to bring that passion to life every day. I first discovered my love for design in my sophomore year of high school when I joined the robotics team and took on the role of handling PR and advertising. It was during that time that I realized how powerful visual elements can be—sometimes even more essential than the product itself. This experience inspired me to become a designer focused on creating impactful branding that becomes the heart of a company’s identity.
