“Melissa’s approach to the design of our book cover was thoughtful. In our field, book covers tend to be staid or childish. Melissa’s design struck a perfect balance of professional and approachable. When I see our book on a table at conferences, it clearly stands out. I would work with her again in a heartbeat.”
