What people are saying about me:
“I highly recommend Melanie. I have been in pharmaceutical advertising for over 15 years and at several agencies. Melanie ranks in the top 5% of creatives that i have worked with that has the aptitude, talent, and dedication of a superstar creative. I can sum up Melanie's qualities with the following:
- Aptitude: We worked on one of the most unique and complex accounts I have worked on in my career. Melanie mastered the ins and outs of this brand faster than most people. She is also eager to learn and a self-starter, willing to jump in to fill the gaps and often learn different skills even when they are not required of her.
- Talent: Melanie has ideas upon ideas and can design. She not only has the artistic flair and eye for design, but she also has an eye for detail. To add to her many talents, Melanie also wants to understand the subject matter which is not always the case with designers.
- Dedication: Melanie works with passion and goes above and beyond. She can singlehandedly do the work for two people with ease. She likes to get the job done and she does it well.
Melanie is undeniably a rising star and will go far. She is eager to learn, to mentor, and lead. Anyone would be lucky to work with her.”

“Meticulously detailed, intellectually curious and strategically focused, Melanie is one of the most self-motivated, organized, competent creatives I've ever worked with. She not only cares deeply about craft, she wants to understand the why behind the asks. She's often the first to volunteer to help in a pinch and is extremely conscientious when seeing a job through. What's more, she's FAST.
Although I never managed Melanie during my time with Avalere Health, I had the opportunity to both mentor her and work alongside her during my last year with the agency and really grew in my appreciation not only for her exceptional skills and commitment but also for her passion and desire to do great work and learn new things. I believe Melanie has what it takes to direct and lead creative work and have no doubt she will catapult to the highest levels of creative direction if she desires. I look forward to cheering her on!”

“I’ve come across people who are talented. Those who are strategic. Those who are detail-oriented and those who have a strong work ethic. But rarely do I find all these qualities in one person. I was lucky enough to find it in Melanie. She’s an art director who can take a project from beginning to end. Concept, design and produce files that are clean and organized. While I didn’t manage her directly, we had the opportunity to work on some projects together. I always knew that whatever challenge we threw at her, she would complete it flawlessly and on time. When faced with a skill that she wasn’t super familiar with, she dug in and figured it out. Because of this, she made all of us better, because we wanted to be like her. I would definitely welcome our paths crossing again in the future.”

“Melanie is one of the smartest, most intuitive and reliable people that I've come across in the world of advertising. She has an amazing ability to think ahead, keeps up with every detail and is conscientious about her role and the way her work impacts her team in a way that can't be taught. Anyone who works with her on a project trusts her implicitly. She's a good concepter with strong presentation skills, and it's exciting to see what she has accomplished, while looking forward to all of the great things to come.”
— Kelli Renfrow / Former Creative Directer / The Integer Group
“Incredibly dedicated and talented. Indispensable. Impressive. A joy to work with. Not detail is missed. Great creative solutions. I can't say enough good things about Melanie. She's just a few years out of school and is holding her own amongst her more seasoned colleagues. Melanie has proven her worth, talent and poise several times over, enough so that she even presents to the client on her own. I admire her dedication and drive. Kinda reminds me of me when I was that age. Please don't steal her away from my team. I really need her!”
