LITTLE FERRY, NJ, July 15, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Joseph Agresta has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Over the course of more than 25 years, Mr. Agresta has built a distinguished career in design, evolving from visual and motion design to his current focus on user experience, digital product, and interactive design. Since 2022, he has served as Chief Creative Officer at Aura, where he leads a team of approximately 12 designers in developing new product features, improving discoverability, and ensuring that a broad and sophisticated product remains intuitive for end users. He directs the company's product design strategy, overall product feel, and visual aesthetic. He also reimagined the product's vision, harnessing AI to synthesize data in the background and surface contextual, actionable insights for users — all in service of the product's core promise: keeping individuals and their families safe online.

Among his many accomplishments, Mr. Agresta takes particular pride in his recent work at Aura, centered on building the Aura Suite — an all-in-one digital safety, family and well-being product. Alongside a comprehensive set of individual security solutions, Aura helps families keep their children safe online through tools grounded in understanding and guidance rather than surveillance and control. Mr. Agresta has directed the introduction of proactive features, including AI-powered risk tracking and app alerts that gently notify parents when a child's online activity suggests they may be facing serious concerns such as harassment or self-harm. The platform also provides parents with an easily digestible weekly summary of their child's online activity, highlighting insights and areas that may warrant closer attention. He describes the guiding principle of this feature set as helping parents move from controlling to understanding — and from fear to confidence.

Prior to joining Aura, Mr. Agresta served as Vice President and Group Experience Design Director at Razorfish, where his principal client engagements included CVS and Microsoft. Before that, he guided the design teams at SoulCycle from 2018 to 2022, holding several roles including Head of Product Design and Interim Executive Creative Director. As lead designer, he played a pivotal part in steering the company through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic: he spearheaded the design of an at-home bike experience to rival Peloton and rapidly developed a live-streaming feature that allowed customers to continue attending cycling classes while studios were closed.

Mr. Agresta's extensive experience further encompasses positions as Director of UX and Executive Creative Director at Cainkade, Sparks Grove/North Highland Consulting, Mercedes-Benz USA, and Hero Digital; Senior Art Director and UX Lead at MRM McCann; and Senior Art Director and UX Lead at Ogilvy Health. He began his career in 2000 as a graphic designer and art director at Nielsen//NetRatings, one of the earliest digital audience measurement and web analytics platforms, tracking internet usage, website traffic, and online behavior.

Before embarking on his professional path, Mr. Agresta built a strong academic foundation, earning a Bachelor of Science in Marketing and Management from Siena College, followed by a Master of Business Administration in Marketing, with a minor in Consumer Behavior and Product Development, from Montclair State University. Committed to ongoing professional development, he has further strengthened his credentials through coursework at Stanford University via its partnership with the Global Alumni organization.

Beyond his career, Mr. Agresta is known for his civic contributions. Since 2010, he has served as a marketing adviser to UNICO National, designing and distributing fundraising materials for the Italian American service organization. He also creates event materials in support of the athletics program at Paramus Catholic High School, his alma mater, and actively coaches baseball and soccer in support of his two sons.

Mr. Agresta's connection to Paramus Catholic High School dates back to his own school days, where he met his wife of 20 years. She now teaches in the couple's hometown, where she was recently named Teacher of the Year. A devoted father of two sons, ages 8 and 10, he spends his free time with his family, coaching, and fishing.

Looking ahead, Mr. Agresta is excited to continue advancing Aura's mission of improving the landscape of digital safety and keeping families secure online. Ultimately, he hopes to create products that harness cutting-edge technology to improve users' day-to-day well-being. He is currently collaborating with clinical psychologists and mental health professionals at institutions such as Boston Children's Hospital to ensure that Aura is thoughtfully and responsibly positioned to help as many families as possible. He remains passionate about the powerful impact technology can have when supported by deliberate, intuitive user experience design.
