I’m a Seattle-based creative leader, manager, and designer, currently a Senior Art Director at Slalom—a global consulting firm focused on strategy, tech, and business transformation. With 20 years in brand development, strategy, and multi-channel marketing, I’ve worked across everything from digital campaigns and environmental activations to brand guidelines, social content, and photo/video productions. My approach blends big-picture creativity with smart, business-minded strategy.
When I’m not geeking out over Pantone chips, I’m hanging out with my husband, Nate, and our labs, Elska and Freyja. I love coffee-and-pastry mornings, trail running, traveling, and my latest obsession—making jewelry. You can check out my designs on Etsy at Mel Made It or follow along on Instagram for updates.
Got a project in mind, a question, or just want to say hi? I’d love to hear from you!
Chasing peaks and passport stamps—here I am after a trail run up to the iconic Tre Cime di Lavaredo in the Dolomites. Travel fuels my curiosity, running fuels my soul, and moments like this remind me why I love both!
