Melissa is a thoughtful and empathetic designer who seamlessly flexes between detailed Ul execution, research, and high-level vision. She excels at facilitating workshops (a true Miro board queen!), synthesizing insights into actionable next steps, and crafting modern, intuitive interfaces. In addition, she brings exceptional organization and focus to every project, and her unique skills as an illustrator add passion, originality, and playfulness to her work. Most importantly, Melissa is a joy to work with-bringing positivity, curiosity, and a naturally collaborative spirit to the team. She readily volunteers for additional responsibilities, mentors others with generosity, and invests deeply in her own growth. She's the kind of teammate who lifts everyone around her and makes the work stronger.

I love working with Melissa! She is so easy to collaborate with. Melissa's positive attitude, her energy, and willingness to help is always front and center. As a software developer, I appreciated how she included us in her design process. By making us part of her brainstorming exercises and giving us an understanding of the bigger picture, we had the context we needed to build out her designs in the best way possible. And when joining a meeting and seeing that she was a part of it, it always gave me a boost and made me feel positive, regardless of what we were working on. I'd happily work with Melissa again!

I have had the opportunity to partner with Melissa on multiple projects. Each time I’ve worked with her, she has consistently made me feel valued, and helped me develop my design skills. She advocates for users and her teammates, and encourages collaboration; displaying superb visual communication skills, leading impactful design reviews and workshops, welcoming feedback, and providing helpful insights that drive alignment with product partners and other stake holders. Her adaptability and willingness to help others, along with her clear communication, have been integral in moving projects forward.
