About

Marissa Viszolay Cook
Designer | Apparel & Accessories | Sustainability Advocate

With over 15 years of experience in the design industry, I am passionate about creating functional, aspirational, and sustainable apparel and accessories. Growing up in Southern California, where art and creativity thrived, I was deeply influenced by my father, an oil painter, and my mother, an entrepreneur, which shaped my unique perspective on the fusion of art and business.

Currently based in Portland, Oregon, I work as the one and only Accessories Designer at Pendleton Woolen Mills, where I continue to evolve and contribute to the brand’s innovative legacy. My expertise spans across all accessories mainly including bags using a variety of materials such as ripstop, waxed canvas, wool and cotton jacquards, knitwear and headwewar. I have strong range and take my aesthetic and sensibility for using the best materials and construction throughout my pieces to the best of my abilities.

I am always open to exploring new opportunities in design. Please contact me at marissaviszolay@gmail.com or connect with me on LinkedIn for a deeper look at my professional journey.
