Within the confides of her home office, she enjoys diving head-first into projects leading and working alongside small teams. She has a comfortable technical background in both 2D and 3D animation, as well as a broader understanding of relevant skills like editing, typography, graphic design, digital painting, and sound design. Melissa also loves actively participating in communities that support other women in the motion design and tech industry worldwide!

Outside of work, she's always either hiking, rock climbing, camping, backpacking, or exploring some off-the-beaten-path landscape…and undoubtedly getting sunburnt in the process. She finds the ties between the digital and natural world very influential to her creativity. Melissa loves to write, and will often find inspiration through her stream-of-consciousness journal word doodles. Poetry and wordplay are awesome.
