Journey with me as I embark on an adventure to design experiences that inspire self-discovery, amplify purpose, and cultivate meaningful connections.
Where Creativity Meets Courage
Educator Turned Experience Designer & Storyteller
Hello beautiful, and welcome to a space where creativity meets courage, and life’s fragmented moments transform into opportunities for connection, expression, and discovery. I’m Ms. Marisha, a self-published author and educator turned creative, experience designer, social entrepreneur, and storyteller.
My interests sit at the intersection of personal wellbeing, the arts, tech, multimedia, and social impact and these mediums along with therapy, solitude, and nature have been integral to my rediscovery - in and out of the workspace.
I’ve had both the challenge and fortune of inventing an unconventional professional path that reflects my creative expression, community building, and teaching experience.
Before stepping into my new creative chapter, I served as a Faculty Associate at Arizona State University teaching Stress Management courses to undergraduate students while simultaneously owning and operating a corporate wellness agency. Brands such as American Nurses Association, Brian Communications, City of Phoenix, Chopra Global, DoorDash, and Teach For America have sought my ideas and insight as a consultant and collaborator.
Currently, I am the Chief Experience Officer of ZENtertainment™ Enterprises - a startup impact relations agency dedicated to bridging industry and education by creating entertainment-driven experiences that amplify the stories of socially responsible brands and unlock economic opportunities for ambitious, modern learners.
MY CORE VALUES
PERSONAL WELLBEING
COLLABORATION
ADAPTABILITY
STORYTELLING
These four core values are highly relevant for navigating the complexities of the modern world. The interconnectedness of global challenges, rapid technological advancements, and the need for sustainable solutions require individuals to be well-rounded and forward-thinking. Personal wellbeing enables resilience and sustained efforts toward societal betterment. Collaboration enables the pooling of diverse talents to tackle intricate issues. Storytelling bridges cultural and generational gaps in communication. Adaptability and experimentation drive breakthroughs in a swiftly changing landscape.
“I’m just a human navigating the depths of vulnerability, the growth that results from leaning into the practices of curiosity and resilience, and how it feels to purposefully pursue pleasure, while inviting others to explore the same. My creations are intended to acknowledge and celebrate our shared humanity.”
My Why and Who I Serve
Separate from my startup life, my vision is to activate and nurture spaces of mindful restoration, self-awareness, and artistic expression for impact-minded explorers ready to convert life’s fragmented moments into opportunities for creativity, community-building, and the courage to live boldly.
I believe that within every human lies the capacity for courage, connection, and creativity - qualities often dimmed by the chaos of modern life. My mission is to design evocative, multisensory experiences that celebrate these universal human truths, champion pleasure as a practice for personal wellbeing, vulnerability as a superpower, and resilience as a quiet act of rebellion.
I create for the dreamers, the doers, and the disruptors - those who are impact-minded, curious, and ready to embrace the unknown. Through storytelling, collaboration, mindful exploration, and experience design, I invite you to join me in crafting a life that feels whole, courageous, and alive.
“How do you want an audience to go home after seeing you? I want people to go home with a working mind. As long as they’re thinking, they won’t be apathetic.”
My Invitation to You
To you - the dreamer, the doer, the seeker of something more - I extend an open hand.
I’ve navigated the fragmented moments of life with therapy, solitude, nature, and art as my compass. While I’m still “on my way” as of today, I can truthfully share I’ve evolved - personally and professionally - yet, my purpose is not to be your guru, an influencer, or expert, but rather a companion on the path—a voice reminding you that courage and creativity often bloom where life feels most uncertain.
I’m here as a fellow explorer, a source of inspiration, and a collaborator, embracing the messiness of life while uncovering its quiet magic.
Together, we’ll navigate vulnerability, resilience, and pleasure. Together, we’ll unpack how these practices can dramatically transform life’s contrasting moments into bold, meaningful opportunities.
