Q: What’s your name and what do you do at Apparel Graphics?
A: I’m Marissa and I’m the Client Success Coordinator.
Q: How long have you worked here?
A: Well…my one year here is coming up in six days, soooooo a year.
Q: If you had to pick only one reason why you enjoy working here, what would that be?
A: Easy. The people that I work with. Compared to other places I’ve worked, the people here really work together and I’m lucky to be a part of it.
Q: We take a ton of pride in the quality of product that we execute here. Can you speak to that? How does our standard expectation affect you directly in your role?
A: I think it starts with everyone here is somewhat of a perfectionist. I mean, nobody wants ugly stuff to go out. Nothing low quality. As a designer I know my role and play a big part in that even though I’m not on the production floor. I don’t want my designs to negatively affect the final outcome of a finished product and I definitely don’t want my coworkers to be asking…who designed that? You know, I want my stuff to look good. I want the team to make really kick-ass prints so that the clients expectations are exceeded.
Q: What are your favorite things to do outside of work?
A: I enjoy hiking. I really love to play Dungeons & Dragons…sitting around for four or five hours at a time pretending I’m not living in the world we’re living in for real. And I love cooking.
Q: Shake Shack vs. In N Out?
A: Never had Shake Shack so it’s going to be In N Out.
Q: Tacos or Pizza?
A: Oooohhhh that’s a hard one. Tacos if I don’t want my stomach to hurt.
Q: Stranded in the screen room with no rescue coming and had to eat only one thing for a solid week…what is it?
A: Probably like….man, a Chipotle bowl. A little bit of variety in there.
Q: Favorite music band of all time? Why?
A: Linkin Park - because I grew up on them and really resonate with their music. I don’t know. A lot of their music is about struggling alone. You never know what someone is going through even if they seem cool on the outside. I mean, like you don’t really know. You might look at someone and not know they’re struggling with mental illness of some type.
Q: Favorite song?
A: Papercut - no hesitation.
Q: Family reunion or get together with friends?
A: Duh, get together with friends for sure.
Q: Everyone has a specific purpose in life or life is what you make it?
A: I think, I mean, I don’t want to get too deep with it but like, I think everyone’s put on the Earth to experience being a human being. Like me and you, we’re all connected in some way. We’re here to learn things. Share experiences across time and space. We all experience the same core emotions and that’s what being human is all about.
