brand & website strategy for builders + creators

About

Melissa is facing the camera, smiling, while sitting on an antique velvet couch in a room with checkered tile.

You deserve a space that says come in—you belong here.

Nice to meet you—I’m a visual strategist, market researcher, and vibe translator. I’ve worked across digital ops and design—from global brands like Sonos to indie small-businesses—always chasing the same thing: clarity that feels human.

I bring that through:

  • Branding rooted in your story and values

  • Copy that connects and converts without the hard sell

  • Lo-fi photography that makes your work feel lived-in, not staged

Ready to feel at home in your brand—and attract the right clients while you’re at it? Let’s chat.
