I’m a MassArt graduate with a BA in Graphic Design and over 20 years of experience creating thoughtful, distinctive work. I spent a decade at a hospitality-focused agency (yes, that included some amazing hotel stays) before returning to Boston and joining Zipcar. In my nine years here, I’ve learned the power of consistent branding, led a talented creative team (and a budget!), and developed strategies that give our work a clear north star.
When the laptop shuts, I love spending time with my family and inspiring my two girls to explore their creativity. You’ll often find me restoring our 1920s bungalow, crafting a charcuterie board, diving into a good book, or enjoying outdoor adventures—usually near the ocean.
“Charisse is the rare CD who somehow does it all—and makes it look easy. Big ideas, smart process, scrappy execution, and true collaboration all come naturally to her, which makes her an absolute joy to partner with.”
“It’s been awesome working with you all for the past 4 years. You guys always made me feel like a true member of the team and not some hired gun. And that meant a lot.”
