Working with Melissa as my supervisor on Dead End - Paranormal Park was a dream. I've always known Melissa is an extremely talented artist, but it was a joy to learn that she is also an amazing leader. Throughout the project, our team was kept organised and in the best spirits through Melissa's supervision. She was always available if any of us had a question and in general made our job easy by doing hers so well. it would be a pleasure to work with her again. Melissa would be a fantastic addition to any team, I couldn't recommend her enough!

Melissa was my Background Supervisor on Dead End: Paranormal Park. She is not only an incredibly talented artist with amazing art direction but also a thoughtful and pragmatic leader. She knows how to bring people together and create a friendly and open working environment for the team to be constantly inspired and motivated. Her feedback and guidance were always clear and encouraging that brought every backgrounds in the show to the highest standard. I can highly recommend working with Melissa, she will be a great asset to any production!
