Bio
Tommy Nguyen
Melanie is an amazing product designer that I would be very fortunate to work with again. We worked directly with each other and led a handful of growth and platform initiatives. Melanie is articulate in her thoughts and not afraid to be candid with her feedback. She has saved me countless times with her keen eye for details, ability to ask the right questions, and being able to quickly learn new things. I have no doubt that Melanie will continue to make a significant positive impact on users and business needs. I highly recommend her to any team.

I had the pleasure of having Melanie on my team at Helium 10, but the misfortune of layoffs prematurely interrupted our time working together. Melanie is a diligent, humble designer who works well with others, is eager to learn and is very willing to adapt to new situations or ways of working. She is not only receptive of feedback but legitimately grateful for it. Her 'teachability' and solid fundamental design chops have confidently demonstrated to me that she has a bright future as a designer. Given the opportunity, I would hire Melanie again.
