I’m also the founder and designer behind Cherished Prints, a boutique brand creating modern memorial stationery for people who want to honor life beautifully and skip the generic.
Creative instigation. Strategic design. Kind rebellion.
Hi, I’m Melissa!
I’ve spent 20 years designing, strategizing, and building brand experiences that don’t just look good, they feel right. My work lives at the intersection of design, storytelling, and problem-solving. From branding and packaging to digital ads, product design, and print collateral, I turn messy ideas into clear, memorable visuals.
I’m fluent in both the creative and the practical, designing for print, digital, and product manufacturing. Whether I’m mocking up packaging, building marketing systems, or creating seamless brand visuals, I balance strategy, structure, and just the right amount of chaos.
Collaboration is my favorite creative tool. I’ve partnered with founders, art directors, and entire teams to push boundaries, refine ideas, and bring brands to life in ways that stand out and stick.
Branding isn’t about playing it safe. It’s about clarity, emotion, and courage. It’s about saying what others won’t, designing what others can’t, and leaving behind something that lasts.
Let’s create something strategic, irreverent, and unforgettable.
