Web Designer
& Developer
Hello
I’m Melissa
I design and build thoughtful digital systems that carry ideas from concept to execution.
This is What I do
Design Meets Development
I thrive at the intersection of design and development, guiding projects from initial strategy and wireframes through implementation, launch, and continuous improvement.
UX • Research • Planning
Strategy
Every successful digital experience starts with understanding the problem. I define goals, research user needs, and develop thoughtful strategies that align business objectives with intuitive user experiences.
Tools: Figma, FigJam, Google Analytics, Search Console
This is What I’ve done

This is Who I am
Outside the Office
Creativity doesn't stop when the workday ends. I love exploring new interests, making things with my hands, and connecting with people.
Movies & TV
I'm always on the lookout for a great movie or series. Psychological thrillers, horror, and sci-fi are my favorites. Always logging my watches on Letterboxd.
Board Games
My husband and I are big board gamers. We attend a lot of conventions and even host an epic board game "convention" for our friends every year.
Family
My husband and our two cats are my favorite company. We both come from big families, and spending time with our nieces, and nephews is one of our favorite activities.
Gaming
Gaming is how I decompress after long days. My regular squad is made up of former coworkers, and we still play almost every week. I also host an Indie Game "Book" Club Monthly.
Hosting
We are lucky enough to have a good space for hosting our friends for holidays, game nights, and just week nights when we want some company.
Audiobooks
Whether I'm crocheting or tackling chores, there's usually an audiobook playing. Current favorite: Dungeon Crawler Carl.
Crocheting
I learned to crochet during COVID and somehow ended up with far too many plushies. Now I sell them at local markets, which gives me the perfect excuse to keep making more.
Digital Art
Lately I've been teaching myself digital illustration. It's been a fun challenge that pushes me to grow creatively in a completely different way.
This is What I Want to Do
Let's build something great together.
Whether you’re looking for a designer, developer, or someone who can bridge the two, I’d love to hear about your next project.
