My name is Marissa (aka hareefaree), and welcome to my website! I am a mixed media animator and storyteller.
This site serves as my portfolio and a journal about my practice. I try to update monthly as I work on my projects! I work in stop motion, 2D traditional cel animation and 2D digital animation, as well as meandering into the worlds of poetry & game design. Enjoy perusing my work, essays, or process journals!

Finally, a Site! - 03.02.2025
Welcome to my new website! I've spent about a month putting it together and I'm gently working on transferring my digital presence to here. Still trying to build a digital home, per say, but here I am!
Right now, this is where all my projects live. I'm slowly working on building a blog (Sketchblog - where this update will be moved to once its live). My Animation and Fabrication are mostly filled out and updated with my most recent project, the old soul music video(!!!). I'm fiddling around with my Writing and Interactive pages, but they do have content on them if you're curious.
Next goals are creating an RSS feed and finishing up that blog! I'm also going to try and learn some JavaScript to make the header, footer, and main navigation bar repeatable elements I don't have to update on every page. We'll see how that goes! I hope I'll be at a point soon where I'm just adding content to the page rather than reconfiguring the site.
More updates soon!
