WHO IS MELISSA

I believe every day should start with a cup of coffee, music is good for the soul and that the best ideas come through collaboration. Animals make my heart smile and I always strive to see the light in a bad situation.

The phrase “what if…” is the gas to my creative exploration. I love challenging myself to new design styles and turning ideas into realities.

Design isn’t my only passion; I love to talk strategy and the ‘why’ when given the opportunity.
