Malissa is the creative director and illustrator behind Rare Medium—a one-woman studio for big-hearted brands. She helps purpose-driven people share their visions with the world, translating ideas into identities that are bold, nuanced, and full of heart.

After a decade in New York designing for Stripe, Target, and PayPal (plus plenty of brands you haven’t heard of—yet), she’s worked across agencies, startups, and independently, always chasing new creative frontiers.

Now in Los Angeles, she brings that same curiosity—and a talent for making collaborators feel truly seen—to every project.
