Living my dream

while designing yours

Aloha! I’m Melissa

I thrive on sunshine. I spent most of my life in the Bay Area but have always wanted to move to Hawaii.

In 2021, I started to manifest this desire. I bought a fake palm tree and a Hawaiian beach background for the wall of my office. Clients asked me why I just didn’t use a zoom background, but the background wasn’t for them–it was for me.

I needed to walk into my office every day and be reminded of my dream. Three years later, here I am, living on Hawaii’s Big Island.

I’m the type of person who has a dream and then makes it happen.

I want to help you turn your business dreams into a reality too.

Get your Dream

I design in my sleep

I am, to my core, a designer. My creative clock doesn’t stop ticking. I have a passion for creativity and working with others who, like me, follow their hearts.

My friends tell me I’m industrious. My kids say I ask too many questions. Both are the keys to my 25 years of success as a brand & graphic designer.

Through careful, thoughtful questioning, I’ll lead you in a process of discovery to unearth the true essence of your brand–your “unaverra” or “one vision.”

Once we have our unaverra defined, we’ll bring your brand to life with all the brand essentials you need – a logo, custom stationary, marketing assets and even a new website.

I’m living my dream. You deserve to live yours too.

Client Love

Melissa is wonderful to work with!

Melissa’s “one vision” approach brought clarity and cohesion to my brand in a way I hadn’t imagined. I am grateful I hired her. With Melissa’s guidance, I now have the confidence I needed to fully step into my brand.
