Testimonials

 

“Melodie is one of the most talented designers I've ever had the pleasure of working with. She is so thorough in her approach to work and so articulate in how she tells the story - making sure to bring the audience along with her. I'd also describe Melodie as a fantastic leader. She really takes the time to make sure her team are clear, capable and motivated to do a great job.”

Penny Burns, Design Manager at NatWest

“Melodie is a fantastic mentor and true creative leader. During my time at Publicis Sapient she played a key role in reinventing an account to one of the agency’s most inspiring accounts. She is a great influencer, team builder, and a driver for brave and brilliant work that creates connections and pushes the industry forward.”

Yasmin Borain, CXO at Tribal Worldwide

“Melodie’s contributions have been great across the board, from management, tactics and right through to design deliverables. I’m grateful that she managed to navigate the many voices and opinions that I know the project was subject to…Melodie is the best strategic designer I’ve worked with in a LONG time.”
