Melinda is a lifelong nerd who combines her love of games and her fascination with people's behavior into an award-winning expertise.
With 15+ years in leadership, Melinda has advised, built, and led early-stage venture-backed companies through moments of uncertainty, growth, and reinvention. She served as Co-CEO of Mindstone, where she joined pre-PMF and helped build one of the first practical AI training platforms from the ground up, shaping the strategy, product, and team that took it to product-market fit and profitability with a 25,000+ member community. Most recently, she served as Interim COO at Chatsie, stepping in during a pivotal transition to reset strategy, define a viable business model, rebuild sales and operations, and leave the company with a clear path forward.
As one of the early voices in gamification, Melinda went on to become a globally trusted authority on behavior change and technology ethics. Her work has earned multiple awards, including two Red Dot Awards and 2x VIVA 400 nomination. She has collaborated with global organizations such as Aegon, Elsevier, and Rituals, contributed to Interreg initiatives for transnational cooperation, advised the European Commission on civil security and technology ethics, and serves on the advisory board of the SXSW Pitch competition.
She is a frequent speaker on play and games, AI and tech ethics, and behavior change, delivering keynotes and appearing on panels at 50+ conferences, companies, and universities worldwide. Her talks are known for challenging assumptions and asking uncomfortable questions about technology, and she has been repeatedly featured by outlets such as the BBC, Sprout, and PAGE.
She’s published research in peer-reviewed journals, and regularly works as a reviewer, writer, and lecturer across industry and academia. She recently co-edited the journal issue Games in a Brave New World with Dr. Marigo Raftopoulos, exploring how playful and game-inspired systems are reshaping work and organizational life in times of rapid social and technological change.
Melinda lives in Lisbon with her wife (also a product geek), two cats, and a slightly obsessive love of speed puzzling.

Got a Squarespace project? Send me a message, I read every one and respond fast. Whether you're starting from scratch, working off a design mockup, or need a Squarespace expert to fix, redesign, or level up your site, I'm the person to call.
I don't just build websites, I build clean, modern, conversion-focused Squarespace websites that make your brand look credible, professional, and polished, and that work without you having to babysit them.
Over the years I've worked with small business owners, coaches, creatives, agencies, and eCommerce brands who all had one thing in common: they needed a Squarespace website that actually performs, not just one that looks nice and sits there.
Here's what I bring to your project:
✔️ Squarespace Website Design & Redesign: custom layouts on Squarespace 7.1 and Fluid Engine, built around your brand and exact spacing/typography/visual hierarchy, not a recycled template
✔️ Mockup-to-Live Builds: give me your Figma, PDF, or static HTML mockup and I'll deliver a pixel-accurate, fully functional Squarespace site
✔️ Squarespace eCommerce & Online Store: smooth product pages, upsells, and checkout flow
✔️ Squarespace Custom Code: Custom CSS, JavaScript, and code injections for functionality beyond the default editor
✔️ Landing Pages: high-converting, mobile-responsive landing pages built for clear calls-to-action
✔️ Squarespace SEO Optimization: on-page SEO best practices, meta titles/descriptions, URL structure, redirects, and fast-loading mobile-friendly setup
✔️ Domain & Technical Setup: domain connection, DNS verification, and troubleshooting so your site goes live without headaches
✔️ Squarespace Maintenance & Support: bug fixes, layout fixes, content updates, and ongoing care. I don't disappear after launch
Who I work best with:
Small business owners, personal brands, coaches, consultants, agencies, photographers, and online store owners who are serious about their Squarespace website and online presence. Whether you need a Squarespace Business Website, a portfolio site, a full eCommerce store, or a quick redesign/refresh of existing pages, I keep communication proactive, timelines honest, and quality non-negotiable.
📨 Send me a message, tell me what you're building, share any mockups or examples of the look you're after, and let's figure out the best path forward.
