Building meaningful brands, without abandoning yourself in the process.
FOUNDERCEOMOMWIFEDOG MOMCREATIVE
I’m Marisa Switzer.
I didn’t start this business because I had everything figured out.
I started it because something about the path I was on didn’t feel right anymore.
I was working in the corporate fashion world, where brands were built with structure, process, and intention. And while I loved the creativity, I kept feeling pulled toward something more meaningful.
Something that felt more aligned with the life I actually wanted.
So I left to build it.
And like most founders, I didn’t step into clarity.
I stepped into constant decisions.
What I was building.
How it should look.
How it should grow.
How to balance ambition with real life.
Because when it’s your business, no one hands you the structure.
You’re just trying to build something meaningful while balancing everything else life asks of you.
I understand that deeply now, not just as a founder, but as a mom.
BOLDBELIEVERIN WOMEN& THEIRIMPACT ONTHE WORLD
Over the last 11 years, I’ve helped build more than 150 brands across fashion, beauty, and lifestyle.
And what I’ve learned is this:
Most brands don’t need more ideas. They need clarity.
Not just beautiful visuals, but a brand that actually works.
One where the messaging is clear, the website converts, the content feels aligned, and everything supports growth instead of creating friction
That’s the work I do now.
My approach has never been about building brands that only look good online.
Everything we create has to work in real life, support your capacity, and help you grow sustainably.
Because if your brand only works when everything is perfect, it doesn’t really work.
Today, I work with founders in a deeper, more strategic capacity, helping them build brands that are clear, connected, and designed to support both their growth and their real lives.
Not just how it looks.
But how it works.
We’re not just creating a brand.
We’re building something that actually works.
A system where every part of your brand supports how you grow.
A Shopify Experience Built to Convert
Not just something that looks good, but something that guides your customer clearly from interest to purchase.
A System You Can Actually Use
So you’re not second guessing every decision—you have a clear direction moving forward.
Clear Positioning
So you know exactly where you stand—and your audience does too.
Messaging That Actually Lands
Not just what to say, but how to say it in a way that feels consistent across everything.
A Cohesive Brand Experience
From your website to your content to your customer journey—everything feels connected.
“Making the decision to invest in my own website and spend the money to work with a true professional who helped me realized my vision was by far the smartest thing I bought this year. If you have a website or a brand that you’re looking to create, redesign, or reimagine, Brands by RISE it is.” - Emmasthing
“The onboarding was exquisite, the in-depth understanding of my target customer was exceptional, the timely turnaround was incredible, and the quality of work was just outstanding! I am so happy with my decision to work with Rise and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their branding.”
- River Moses
“I had lots of ideas but no clear direction on where to take my business. Marisa picked up on my vision so quickly, and just ran with it. In the peak of my busy season it felt so good trusting that Marisa had me covered and this was something on my plate I didn’t have to worry about. And now I have a clear business direction and strategy that feels like ME and has me so excited to relaunch!”
