Melissa has worked on a wide range of projects including large-scale branding systems, event branding, collateral design, and digital design. Through her career and her home life with three children, she’s learned to be flexible and embrace change. If you happen to spot her driving in DC’s notorious traffic, she’ll probably be sipping coffee directly from her beloved French press.
