Everyone has a story. It’s told in the choices we make and the businesses we run. It’s the reason we do what we do every day. It’s what makes us tick. And that story speaks volumes to others. Every picture tells a story – and that’s true with every visual element of your business – from your logo to your website.
I LOVE creativity and the act of creating. When I was little, I made my own scratch n’ sniff books with gum wrappers, perfume and drawings. As I got older, I discovered digital design: I designed flyers and t-shirts in high school and in college was completely captivated by the world wide web. For me, the magic is in tying pieces of information together with visual meaning – it’s like playing with a puzzle and finding a way to make everything fit together.
I’ve worked for cosmetic companies, designed stationery, handcrafted invitations, and developed logos and websites for all kinds of fascinating people. Which leads me to another thing that I love: hearing people’s stories and learning why they do what they do! And if I can fit even the littlest bit of their story into their website or logo design? Well, I really LOVE that.

Melissa created a visually stunning website for my company from conception to launch. I owe so much to Melissa for creating my stunning logo - my logo has become the face of my company and without her expertise and creative eye I wouldn’t be where I am today professionally.
