Marisa

Marisa is part of the founding team at PB5star, where she works across ecommerce, marketing, and editorial. She’s fascinated by how design, materials, and movement shape everyday experiences on the court and beyond.

Outside of work, she enjoys time with her college-age kids, chasing good coffee, and diving deep into whatever subject has sparked her latest curiosity. She’s happiest on long walks and hikes, including time spent exploring the Cotswolds Way, where exploration and endurance feel less like concepts and more like lived experience.
