About

Hi! My name is Marissa Johnson and I am the owner of Colima Consulting. I have a background in science education, art and am self-taught in the language and practices of business. I graduated from the University of Arizona with a BS in Secondary Science Education and a BA in Studio Art: Drawing & Painting and went on to teach Environmental Science and Biology at Flowing Wells High School for 4 years. 

My introduction to business started when my husband, Patrick Foley, founded the screenprinting and design shop CREAM Design & Print. I jumped on board to help with the basic accounting, legal, client interfacing and made the decision to sign-on as co-owner a few months later. With no prior background in business, I utilized all the free and low-cost business resources I could find in Tucson to educate myself and found a real passion and alignment in the systems and structure of business. We spent the next 4 years growing the business, team, social media presence and our place in the community. 

In 2020 I felt called to align my interests in business, personal growth work, and website design in service to other entrepreneurs. My belief is that when we have simple and beautiful structures and systems in place, we have more time, energy and creativity to devote to the important things - community, team, family and self.

I am so excited to offer my website design, consulting, coaching and educational services to organizations and small business owners through Colima Consulting. With a goal of progress - not perfection, let’s begin!
