Apparel Designer and Creative Professional
Hi, I’m Melissa.
I am a hands-on apparel designer with over 9 years of experience in both small brands and corporate design environments. I am a self starter, team leader and problem solver. I have design and technical design experience in women’s and mens activewear, outerwear, functional workwear, as well as children’s apparel and accessories. I'm interested in blending my passion for clothing design with my interest in sustainability and minimizing environmental impact in the apparel industry.
Outside of my career and passion for design, I love to weave, hike and spend time with my husband and our daughter.
“The scope of responsibility Melissa managed while at Senita is truly remarkable. Her ability to manage many conflicting priorities, her sole ownership over such a wide array of responsibilities and her diversity of exposure across product offerings has given her a breadth and level of experience that I think it would be very difficult to match.”
-Liz Pogue, CEO & Owner of Senita Athletics
“Having had the privilege of working closely with Melissa for almost two years, I can confidently say that she is a collaborative and patient leader. Her technical design knowledge, coupled with her creativity and problem-solving skills, were instrumental to the design team. Melissa's dedication to implementing efficient processes within our design team was evident throughout our time working together.”
-Abby Rausch, Designer at Target
