ABOUT

Here is where I talk about myself in the third person.

Larissa started her career writing for Johnnie Walker. She has worked at Saatchi & Saatchi developing creative on big brands such as Kodak, Cheerios, Reynolds, Tide, and The MLK Foundation. At DeVito Verdi, she endured three years of radio and print bootcamp on Legal Seafoods, Meijer, and Mount Sinai. Then to Publicis, where she famously hurt a duck for Aflac, Yodeled for Hot Pockets, and created and won awards on everything from packaged goods to Pro Bono.

Most recently, Larissa is The Copy Provocateur, a Freelance gun-for-hire and content creator who helps win new business and supports agencies existing clients. Ask her about giving birth on her first day of work, her uncoordinated guide to pole fitness, and Floral Design. Check out her portfolio at www.thisislarissa.com
