ABOUT MARILYN DAMATO

Hi, I’m Marilyn.I’m a NYC-based Senior Graphic Designer and Art Director who turns ideas into visuals that connect, persuade, and perform. I’ve worked across marketing, advertising, music, finance, events, tech, and e-commerce — moving between agencies and in-house teams at some of the world’s most recognized brands. Whether print or digital, I bring concepts to life with clarity, strategy, and measurable impact.I began my career in the music industry at BMI, designing for artists including Taylor Swift, Eminem, and Lady Gaga, and for major events like SXSW and the Grammys®. That experience taught me how to create visuals that resonate with large audiences and capture cultural moments.At Macy’s, I led visual design initiatives for more than 500 stores nationwide, contributing to high-visibility projects including the Facebook pop-up shop, the rebrand of The Market at Macy’s, and a Super Bowl campaign with the NFL — work that supported significant sales growth and brand engagement.At Amazon Live, I managed fast-paced, high-impact creative as a Senior Designer, producing compelling visual experiences that helped drive an 80%+ increase in customer and social engagement.My freelance and contract work includes Adobe, MoMA, and Liberty Mutual, where my designs supported the company’s prestigious President’s Awards. Across every project, I focus on creating work that is not only visually strong, but strategically effective.I thrive in collaborative environments, partnering with marketing, copy, production, and environmental teams while managing complex timelines and high-volume deliverables. I’ve led creative teams, mentored junior designers, and am equally comfortable owning projects from concept through production.Curious about my work? connect — and create something meaningful.
