A career highlight

“I've been incredibly fortunate to have worked with Melissa as my coach and manager. She's been there for me at every stage of my design career, from the very beginning when I was just starting out, all the way to becoming a senior designer and transitioning into leadership roles. Melissa's support has played a significant role in my rapid growth across various areas, including design, collaboration, leadership, and product thinking. She has a remarkable ability to bring clarity to any situation and help me discover new paths forward. Melissa is empathetic and inclusive, and this fosters a thoughtful and caring environment when working with her. She's empowered me during moments of self-doubt, and encouraged me to embrace new challenges I may not have pursued independently. Having her as my coach has truly been a career highlight.”
