Melinda is a creative whirlwind of imaginative solutions for community education outreach challenges. Because she understands the importance of tailoring a message and delivery medium to the target audience, she consistently offers timely, effective options for reaching that group. Her broad experience in marketing strategies have helped our division refine what we want to say about our programs and have expanded our outreach to include social media. As a designer of collaterals like brochures, flyers, banners and utility bill ads, she is easy to work with. Being a government entity occasionally poses the challenge of sparking public interest while maintaining authority and credibility. Melinda's approach to designing those end-products is always focused on meeting the end-user's information needs. Her "make it an engaging conversation" style frequently helped us to overcome the static, bureaucratic "just give them the facts" designs we had previously. The information is always clear and concise but is presented in an attractive and interesting manner that invites the reader to participate. Our brochures, both electronic and hard copy, have a more consistent look and a clearer message for having had her skilled hand guide them. What I appreciate most about Melinda is her ability to see the possibilities for an even greater vision than what was originally planned. By asking questions about the objectives, she draws on her experience and offers suggestions on how a project can be improved or how it can dovetail with a parallel project or how we can use it as a launching board for the next project. She sees all aspects of communication outreach as intricately entwined and seeks to weave as many separate threads together into a seamless, consistent, cohesive result for the public.

Melinda is very creative, professional, and knowledgeable in marketing retail business. While we had our store in downtown McKinney, she was inspirational and supportive of the initiatives of starting a new business. Her recommendations and constant support made it a wonderful experience. In addition, her network was extremely valuable. Certainly a reliable go to person for business marketing and development. She is so personable, and creates such a great rapport with all those who come to know her. I am very fortunate to have worked with her!
