“She digests and dissects the brief incredibly carefully and gains a full and true understanding before then adding great value and expertise in her guidance as to what will enhance and harmonise the project from a design perspective without derailing the vision at hand with a level of skill and kind mastery that I have rarely seen in other designers. I have worked with her on many and various highly time sensitive online and print design projects over the past 20 years where she has managed the many strong minded stakeholders and ideas on the table with a grace and ease that others could not muster and delivered stunning results that miraculously met and harmonised all the diverse opinions of the group which is certainly no easy task. She is highly skilled and experienced with a quiet elegance and proficiency in all she does and is a complete joy to work with. If you want the highest level design work of the likes of the biggest agencies with the personal touch and beauty of communication Mel most definitely should be your go to person!”

Brand Alignment Coach

“From the start, I felt really supported — she never rushed me, never made me feel like I was being too much or changing my mind too often. She was calm, patient, and totally in it with me. We bounced ideas around so naturally, and she always made space for whatever came up. I felt like I had a true creative partner — someone who really listened and helped shape the project without ever taking over. She delivered everything on time and so well-organized that I didn’t have to ask twice or chase anything. Mel really takes your project to heart — you can feel her care, attention, and focus in everything she does. If you’re looking for someone who brings their whole heart to the work and gently guides you through the creative process, work with Mel. You’ll feel held the whole way through."

“She provided thoughtful concepts, was open to feedback and made wise suggestions about the design and how it would be used in different contexts, including social media. The final logo captures the identity of my brand and feels both unique and professional. I highly recommend Mel to anyone looking for high-quality design work. I’m extremely happy with the final result and look forward to working with Mel again in the future."

As part of a small team, Mel proved to be valuable member. Adaptable, she was able to manage and deliver multiple pieces of work to time and within budget. Being a senior member, Mel helped mentor a Design Apprentice that we recruited to the team along with a Junior Designer. Mel demonstrated her ability to communicate at all levels both within the business and externally. In gaining clarity of brief she delivered and articulated accurate pieces of work with an exacting attention to detail. 

Our business is a fast paced, entrepreneurial environment and Mel managed the challenges of this extremely well. I trusted her judgement and approach and we worked well together over the years.
