Melissa Stafford
CREATIVE DIRECTOR & VISUAL DESIGNER
“I contacted Melissa with an important, last-minute assignment to build and design a website. I was concerned that she wouldn't have enough time but I was beyond pleased with the result. Throughout the intense 48-hour process, she was incredibly responsive and clear in her communication, going the extra mile to meet my various requests. The design itself was creative, clear and sharp. It was such a pleasure working with her and I couldn't recommend her more.”

“We turned to Melissa for design on a number of campaigns last year to help ease the workload of our in-house designer. Melissa took in and processed a great deal of information on some complex products and events, listening to our ideas and helping us craft a design strategy for each campaign that was unique and eye catching while fitting in with our larger brands. She designed multiple pieces for the campaigns, including creating an amazing and spot-on logo for our largest annual event which we continue to use each year. From websites to email marketing to print and web ads, Melissa always came through with stunning, crisp, functional designs in a timely manner and was extremely accommodating and easy to work with throughout the editing process. She is a talented, dedicated professional and we continue to keep her at the top of our list for go-to designers.”

“Melissa is a young, energetic curator with vision and the dedication to make that vision a reality. I had the pleasure of working with Melissa for "Plugged In" which she curated for the city of Hudson, NY. Thanks to her hard work, Plugged In became a critical and engaging event that was both well attended and well received. Curating electronic and interactive installation work for a large scale, outdoor exhibit requires focus and dedication and Melissa proved she was up to the challenge.”
