As a graphic designer, marketer, and entrepreneur, I am passionate about helping clients improve their profitability by building effective brands through strategic marketing and design excellence. With a background in illustration / fine art, graphic design, marketing, and starting my own business, I am able to quickly identify and solve problems through several lenses and creatively execute on ideas, from concept to completion. I continuously integrate my entrepreneurial spirit into the work I do for clients and treat their business as my own by defining and creating brands that are unique to the personality of their company or organization. Throughout my experience, I have both contributed to and led teams to effectively market both products and services with award-winning designs. I’ve helped clients achieve their marketing goals and maximize results by developing brand standards and implementing brand consistency verbally, visually, and contextually through graphic design and messaging. I have a variety of industry experience, including Accounting, Beauty & Fashion, Construction, Dental, Education, Energy, Engineering, Finance, Fitness, Health Care, Logistics & Supply Chain, Public Speaking, Non-profit, Restaurant, Retail, Transportation, and Water Solutions.Contact: Melissa@voomcreative.comSpecialties: Brand Creation & Development, Graphic Design, Illustration, Web DesignAccomplishments:• Winner of numerous international and local awards for brand creation, event, campaign, publication, and web design.• Biography published in Unlocking the Secrets of Successful Women, written by Joan Kennedy.• Published illustrator of Who Grows Up Here? – a six-book children’s series sold on barnesandnoble.com and amazon.com.• Designed thank you cards sold in Target stores.• Illustrated bridal invites, holiday stationary and thank you cards sold in Office Max stores.• Illustrated and designed Christmas and holiday greeting cards sold in Macy’s.
