AVP Growth Marketing | Namely / VensureHR
Melissa's tenure on my team was characterized by exceptional creativity, innovative problem-solving, and thoughtful presentation. From her impressive candidate design project during the interview process to her subsequent projects since she was hired, Melissa has consistently demonstrated a high level of skill, professionalism, energy, and expertise. One standout project is her refresh of the Namely brand, where she introduced fresh and inventive design elements. I've been so impressed by Melissa's ability to manage multiple projects across different brands while engaging with various stakeholders. Her meticulous organizational skills ensure deliverables are completed on time and that the requestor is happy with the final product. Her openness to feedback and positive attitude make her not only a top-tier designer but also a pleasure to collaborate with.

Melissa is not only a amazing graphic designer but wonderful creative problem solver. We worked together on large advertising campaigns within an internal agency and I also had the pleasure of going to the Adobe 99u Design conference with Melissa. I’ve seen Melissa create wonderful branded design treatments and even explore animation. Melissa is a great designer, team member, and versatile creative that brings amazing results and optimism with every project that comes their way. It was a pleasure to work along side Melissa. I can see them creating amazing work and collaboration with any team their apart of in the future.
Design Team Leader | Rocket Mortgage
I had the pleasure of working with Melissa first as a peer and later as a team leader on the Marketing Design Team at Rocket Central. Melissa is a talented designer and illustrator. What has most impressed me about Melissa is her ability to find solutions beyond what is asked of her. One example of this is the master email template she created for all of our B2C companies. Melissa noticed that there were inconsistencies in our emails from company to company. She took it upon herself to create a master email template that was inclusive of all of our B2C companies. This way, designers would all be starting from the same place, updates could be made in one place, and our email communication to clients would be consistent no matter which Rocket they were interacting with. This project involved cross team collaboration with the entire design team, our email developers, and brand management team. Melissa didn't have to go above and beyond in this way, but she saw a need and took her own initiative to do so. Any team would be lucky to have her as a designer!
