Hello, I’m Melissa! I specialize in branding and project management, with a background in graphic design. I have a passion for powerful fonts that help you feel the message the company is trying to convey. I believe photography is the best way to capture and evoke emotion, especially when selling an experience or product.
A few months after graduation I landed my first real job as a graphic designer! I work and live in Dayton, Ohio now and enjoy work out classes like spin and yoga and I try to read a new book every month. I have a weakness for anything cute, and when it comes to animals it’s even worse. I have a fluffy charcoal cat Winnie, that has finally warmed up to cuddling with me.
