I’m Mel!
User experience expert, empathetic problem-solver, and effective team builder. Too much design is made for other designers.

About me:
With over eighteen years of experience in design, new technologies, and interactive media. My client list includes AARP, WPI, the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), CVS, Microsoft, Amazon, and the RI Secretary of State. I’m an expert in researching and communicating industry trends and comparable technology experiences; applying and driving design standards across all channels. My clients like to say I know just enough enough about everything to be dangerous.
