MARISSA

FOUNDER, CEO

Marissa brings several diverse years of marketing experience to the team, spending time with corporate giants such as Digitas, as well as small entrepreneurs (such as running her previous company, A Shirt Thing). Marissa attended Cornell University, and earned her MBA from Harvard Business School.

Marissa noticed that before heading out with her friends, the same words were always uttered. Whether it was friends from college, friends from business school, or friends from somewhere in between... at some point it came down to, "which should I wear?"

Her response was always the same. "Go try it on! I can't tell if it's just on the hanger. I need to see it on you to get the full look!"

She thought, wouldn't it be nice if there was a place where we could share photos and get feedback about "which outfit to wear"? Of course, it would need to be real time, and it would be even better if it was honest. No need to worry about hurting my feelings here, I just want to look my best!

...and GO TRY IT ON was born!

Marissa also likes comedy a lot and does improv with her team Poolside. She resides in New York, New York.

SIMON

CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER

Simon's websites have been nominated for a variety of awards including a Webby. He attended Tufts University and studied Computer Science. His thin grasp on the fashion scene is gleaned mostly from a religious devotion to The Hills and The City. Before assuming his duties at GO TRY IT ON, he was one of the guys who creates those annoying online ads you hate so much.

FAVORITE CHILDHOOD GAME:

Clue.

(...NOT "Simon Says." That game is a cruel joke.)

IN A PERFECT WORLD, WHOSE OPINION WOULD I WANT ON MY LOOK?

Lo Bosworth, from The Hills.

MATT

ART DIRECTOR

Matt basically came out of the womb knowing how many pixels apart things need to be to look right. His knees have been weakened on more than one occasion by the particularly clever use of negative space. There is a vicious rumor floating around that he made a spelling error in 1994. His penchant for clean and tasteful design has actually helped to inform his fashion acumen, which wouldn't be caught dead within a 10 mile radius of Ed Hardy or any of Ed's immediate family.
