I'm an art director who also builds. I make on-brand email, social, and campaign creative, then set up the templates, automations, and integrations behind it, so your team can launch fast and keep going without me in the loop for every change.

some things people said

Marcy is absolutely amazing! Everything got done in less than 24 hours! It was so quick! I love my Canva template graphics you created for me. Very polished, professional and well done.
Marcy is one of the GOATs on this platform. Tremendous skill bringing complicated design ideas to life. Her ability to actually make unique branding elements that pop and as seamless gif animations puts above many others designers I've tried. Her work has that spark thats hard to express - and performance reflects it. Communication is perfect and efficient - very friendly and great at setting expectations. She's also very fast, which makes is why she's worth her expert-level rate.
Marcy is a fantastic designer with an incredible eye - able to take creative guidance and run with it to build beautiful designs. Her animated designs help elevate emails and simple branding into stronger & more engaging content. She works incredibly fast and is well worth her the cost for her expertise. Strongly recommend to anyone who needs a collaborative design specialist.
Marcy is the best! She has helped me for many years on projects related to email marketing newsletters, design, strategy and SMS test messaging registration. She is super quick and communicates well. Highly recommend!
I have worked with over a dozen designers on Upwork, and Marcy is by far the best! I have hired four different people to help me make my newsletter perfect without success, and she succeeded on the first try. Additionally, she had a quick turn-around speed, and delivered what I needed within a day. I wish I could give her more than 10 stars.
Marcy was wonderful to work with. She delivered exactly what we wanted ahead of schedule!
Marcy is efficient, professional, and detail-oriented towards the client's needs. Highly recommend her if you are looking to get your project completed right the first time!
