Melissa Buck Email & Phone Number

I am a creative problem-solver with a passion for communicating through thoughtful, strategic design. A creator and nerd at heart, I discovered my love for design in high school, as the perfect meld between my interests in digital technology and art. I began experimenting with design in Microsoft Word, then dove in to teach myself an outdated version of Photoshop, and eventually attended Ithaca College where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Integrated Marketing Communications and a minor in Still Photography.Born and raised in the Finger Lakes region, I have always aspired to help local businesses thrive through polished branding, marketing, and design. I spent the past five years as the Marketing & Communications Specialist at Finger Lakes Wine Country, where I worked with regional businesses and community leaders to brand the destination and promote its experiences to visitors and residents. Giving back to others is important to me, and I serve as a graphic design and fundraising volunteer for The Potter’s Hands Foundation, a localorganization that operates a safe house to restore the lives of women rescued from sex trafficking.When I'm not behind my computer, I can be found crafting, binge-watching reality competition shows, visiting local breweries, and spending time with my family and dog, Lola.

Listed skills include Photoshop, Social Media, Microsoft Office, Photography, and 17 others.
