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!
