My name is Melissa Carlson.
Here are a few things I thought you might like to know about my approach to design and client relationships:
I’ll take the time to understand what you need—even if what you need isn’t me!
Know just what you’re looking for and just need someone to execute? Or not quite sure how to use design to make your brand shine?
No matter where you’re at in the branding and design process, you can rely on me to pay attention, get to the heart of your challenge and be honest about whether I’m the right person to help. (And, if I’m not, I can probably connect you to someone who is).
I work hard to create long-term business partnerships.
Most of my clients have been with me for over a decade. They like that I’m honest, on time, meet their deadlines (and their budgets), have a sense of humor and consistently produce good work. Sure, I’ll take a one-off assignment, but I’d rather nurture an ongoing relationship. Wouldn’t you?
In addition to my client relationships, I’ve also built long-term partnerships with some of the area’s best web developers, social media experts, printers, writers, photographers and illustrators. When your project needs one of those elements, I’ve got a great resource that’s just the ticket.
I love a good challenge.
There’s nothing I like better than having a client come to me with a design or branding challenge. That’s when I get to roll up my sleeves and apply all I know about my client, the marketplace and the power of good design. How fun is that?
And, last, but certainly not least, good design is just part of who I am.
I’ve enjoyed sketching and exploring typography, color and texture my entire life. And when I discovered I could take those passions and turn them into something that helped a business capture its brand—and earned me a paycheck? That’s what took me from a love of drawing to a love of design.
Think we seem like a fit?
