Hello, my name is Melissa. I'm a Graphic Designer.
I’m lucky to have had the opportunity to build a career by doing what I love. From a young age, I had a passion for drawing and I knew what I wanted my professional future to look like. As the focused and goal-driven person that I am, I decided to pursue my dream and make it happen.
For 20 years, I’ve had the great fortune to work on some truly inspiring projects while meeting many influential and creative individuals along the way. I have worked on educational publications, children's books, magazines, various marketing materials. More recently I have improved product packaging to be more environmentally friendly and inspired a new look for an existing brand that is still growing today.
For more information about my experience, portfolio or how we can communicate further, get in touch with me today.
