Some Other’s Thoughts

“Misty is a dedicated professional that cares deeply for her craft and the people around her. It is a pleasure to work with her and any team would benefit from her leadership and breadth of skills. Her greatest strength is her ability to tap into the emotional drivers of the objective and channel that into a tangible creative vision. ”

“Misty is an EXPERIENCE. I, like you, have heard tales of those leaders that excel at making strategic decisions, are incredibly talented at their craft, encourage others to be their best selves, and inspire action and connection. They seemed like legends or myth, like unicorns. Well, Misty is that human-executive shaped unicorn! I was able to work with Misty in Isobar's BelongHere group. During this time, I witnessed her inspire groups of hundreds of people to action with her inspirational public speaking ability. She pioneered a racial and accessibility equity program with design guidelines and business principles that other senior leaders were excited to adopt and get moving. For myself, she has redefined for me what it means to bring your best self to work.”

“I was a client of Misty's at Bloomberg. We built a new digital venture together. She was effective at leading the creative inspiration, direction and execution of our group. This required her to collaborate with many different teams - and many different personalities - which she did masterfully. Misty was also adept at really grasping the business - and its goals - so that she could design and execute the right creative strategy for it. Most importantly - her passion and commitment as a leader was contagious - which made a big difference for our group. I would highly recommend her!”

“Misty is that rare hybrid; an artist that brings beauty to every design and a digital strategist that knows how, when and why something works. I was lucky to work with her and to learn from her. She leads by example and passion, not ego. How often can you say that?”

“Misty is an amazing talent. She digs into the DNA of the brand and customer experience to truly think about the experience and emotion she wants to design for. Misty is also not afraid to challenge conventional thinking to deliver for the customer. I can’t wait to work with Misty again. She is a special talent. ”

“Misty embodies leadership and authenticity in every way. If you’re on her team, she will not only invest in your career development, but also in your overall well-being. She has a voice, but also encourages you to use yours. She brings a passion for diversity and inclusion and walks the walk. Misty is the kind of leader who adds so much value to the culture and heart of any team. All of these gifts earned her the respect, appreciation and trust of those who work with her at Isobar at every level. She’s a total gem who will make a positive impact wherever she goes. ”

“Misty inspires entire organizations to evolve and improve. She has an incredible ability to build more than workplace teams, but a community that deeply cares for one another. While working together, she galvanized the organization around a belief that Isobar should go beyond traditional diversity and inclusion goals. Together, we named this ‘Belong Here’ with the belief that everyone should feel as though they belong at Isobar. Misty is a leader with the strength of character and depth of experience to know the way, go the way, and show the way.”

Claire Mirisola / Lead Copywriter, Isobar

“Misty is a true leader of people. Her extensive career in design and creative efforts speak for themselves. But what is probably harder to grasp is the care, purpose, and love she brings to the work, and to all those that are working with her. She’s an incredible mentor to junior staff, and a trusted, committed, and hard working colleague to those she shares leadership responsibilities with. In today’s world where every voice matters, her vision for creativity and how people contribute to it would be invaluable on any team. She won’t just elevate your creative output, she will revolutionize how it’s done.”

Ricardo Salema / Chief Creative Officer, Isobar

“Misty is a truly remarkable design leader and human being, from whom amazing creative ideas flow continuously like a river. I have had the privilege of partnering with her repeatedly on many projects and growing on a somewhat parallel path with her over the last 8 years, and I’ve been constantly impressed with her intelligence, skill, empathy, leadership and personal power. Her presence on a project – or even within the company – always leads to beautiful, outstanding, elevated work that exceeds all expectations, regardless of the ask. And somehow, as a design partner, Misty has always been someone that I can completely level with, and look up to, simultaneously.

At some point many years back, Misty tapped into a deep wellspring of personal power that has removed any and all barriers to her growth, and I think the center of that power is her deep love for the craft. She loves her work as a designer and leader. She loves the clients and brands with whom she works, empathizing deeply with their goals and the people that they serve. She loves the world in which those clients operate, finding ways to make them better. She loves each and every member of her design teams, cultivating their talents and voices to develop creative ideas that are better than any one person could do alone. No matter how or where you encounter Misty or her work, you will be positively transformed in some way.

Regardless of who asks or for what purpose, I would offer Misty my strongest recommendation without hesitation, in a heartbeat. ”
