Melissa is a gem. I enjoyed working with Melissa for so many reasons, but most importantly because she is a hard-working, competent, thorough and thoughtful designer who displays the utmost professionalism. The breadth and depth of her design skills combined with her easy way of getting along with everyone she meets, makes her an ideal employee. I’d hire Melissa in a heartbeat with complete confidence that she’ll excel in any situation that comes her way.

Melissa and I worked together at Hitachi for many years. During that time, her web and graphic design skills were always excellent. She communicated her vision expertly, and if there was ever a question, she reached out. I would highly recommend Melissa.
