I was in college studying computer animation when I came across graphic design (which I had never heard of); fell in love with it; promptly switched my major; and got myself a bachelor's degree. I now have over two decades of experience. I also randomly experiment with other arts and crafts that I share over on my Instagram page. I am a Florida native who beats the heat by being a total night owl. I don't believe there is such a thing as having too many books, typefaces, or cupcakes.
It's always nice to be appreciated! Here's what my clients have to say:
“Melissa produces beautiful work. She has a great eye for layout and design, and her results are always a hit. She’s open to suggestions and changes (at least from me) and regards projects as a partnership between herself and her clients.”
“Melissa created a beautiful logo for my company and made my vision a reality. Thank you!”
“Thank you so much for the fantastic job you did designing our Let’s Move Salad Bars to California Schools Celebration Press Event program. You are the BEST designer I’ve worked with in 8 years at United Fresh! You made our lives so much easier and gave us a beautiful program.”
Some of the awesome companies that I have worked with:
BASF · Florida Fruit & Vegetable Association · Gaylord Palms · Hilton · KUONI · Montgomery College · RCMA · Ronald McDonald House Charities · United Fresh Produce Association · Waldorf-Astoria
