Hello! I'm Melanie, a senior-level creative specializing in art direction, graphic design, brand identity, and creative leadership. I have over 11 years of experience combining these disciplines to develop compelling, authentic brands.
In my most recent full-time role, I managed the graphic design team at Early Warning, supporting all brands under the company portfolio (including Zelle, Paze, and Early Warning), and was a key decision maker for creative marketing assets and brand identity.
Currently, I'm open to freelance work as well as part-time and full-time opportunities.
