Hi, I’m Melissa!
In 2020, some friends and I created a digital game world for exploring self-reflection. I was given the nickname “idea hamster” (it lives on a public website, here. It’s legit.) for being a connector of ideas! I’m currently a qualitative researcher, but I’m also exploring the world of brand, creative, and experiential strategy as the next step in my career.
What skills do I bring to the table?
Bridging audience insight with design and business objectives
Uncovering human experiences and truths to inspire and generate ideas, concepts, solutions
Synthesizing research into thought-provoking stories that inspire and drive action
Asking the right questions to shape the work we do — both with our internal design/product teams and audience
Hosting intimate gatherings for connection and friendship (right now I’ve been hosting gatherings with friends, but I would LOVEEE to do this one day in a professional capacity for a brand).
Previous experience working in hospitality
An interest in immersive experiences- museums, arts and culture, food, and more!
