One of those few people who can REALLY draw, Melissa is virtually unmatched in terms of layout ability. A talented and self-directed designer who gets it done beautifully on the first try, Melissa is also darn good at writing headlines. Known for bringing nine versions and five sizes of every design project she’s assigned to before the first meeting, Melissa believes patience is for kittycats. A true artistic type, SweenDog found the perfect mix of financial gain and free booze when she was commissioned by a renowned California vineyard to do three original paintings for use on wine labels. Though she’s ten years older than she looks, Melissa retains a juvenile sense of humor and brings a healthy dose of sarcasm and wittiness to all our creative meetings.

water cooler wisdom about melissa:

“She doesn’t read emails or project sheets. She doesn’t have time for that %&*.”
“She channels Phyllis Diller when laughing.”
“Melissa taught her dog to use kitty litter so she doesn’t have to come home early from a night out with the girls.”
“She moved to Jersey. Scores of Philly’s finest are heartbroken.”

clients should take comfort in knowing...
Melissa has a great “eye” and takes a lot of pride in her work (so stop telling her what photos to use in the layouts!)
