Hi, I’m Melissa! I’m a graphic designer with almost 10 years of experience in branding, print, and digital design. I currently work part-time for a national magazine where I handle layout, ads, and production, but I also freelance because I love taking on new projects and have time to do so! I’ve worked in print shops, trucking companies, and with small businesses, so I know how to create clean, professional designs that get the job done right. I’m quick, reliable, and always make sure my work is polished and ready to go. I am confident I can get your projects done fast and efficiently without sacrificing quality. Let’s work together and bring your ideas to life!

Through graphic design, I explore creative expression as an avenue to solve human problems. Each has unique constraints that exist in tension with possible solutions. I use imagination, critical thinking, and shared ideas to deliver work that balances artistry and function. From age eight to eighteen, I participated in a creative problem-solving competition that fueled my interest in divergent thinking. Odyssey of the Mind presents complex engineering challenges with limitations intended to push students toward similar responses. In contrast, scoring favors teams that design the most innovative, effective solution. Though my tools have changed–The Adobe Creative Suite has replaced duct tape, tempera paint, and cardboard–conceptually, the work I love is the same. I am seeking projects with short-medium timelines as I will be attending graduate school for graphic design beginning this fall. The work I do now will help me cultivate the skills and experience I need to succeed in school, allowing me to achieve my ultimate goal of becoming a graphic design professor. I do not use generative AI in my work. Many generative AI models are trained using unsourced and unattributed copyrighted works. This is a grey area I have no interest engaging with.
