I love working with Melissa for all of my graphic needs. She is a total pro! Always a fast turn around time, always keeps her word and is full of great ideas that most of the time I never would of thought on my own. I really feel like the kind of care and skill that Melissa puts into every project is rare. I am so grateful I found her!

 "Words don't even do justice how instrumental Melissa has been and is in my business. But I will try. She is part branding guru, meets design doula, birthing the most gorgeous images for me and my business. She takes my ideas and my words and turns them into gorgeous visual masterpieces for my clients to truly FEEL the words. My business has begun to feel like me. My business is my soul business and up until I met Melissa it didn't feel like me. She totally re-designed my website, does all my images for my quotes, takes my newsletters and turns them into magic, and does the most amazing design for my retreats and events. Not only is the design amazing but the paper and packing too."
