Testimonials

I’m a fulltime freelance graphic designer and photographer now!  Please keep me in mind if you need graphics work, family portraits, or event photography.  Thanks!

Testimonials:

“Melissa’s creativity and attention to details were above those of many designers—and I’ve worked with quite a few. She quickly grasped the concept of our desired project, which eliminated any back-and-forth of design edits. She’s a designer who ‘knows her stuff.’” – Rebecca Page, Director of Marketing and Membership, National Association of County Engineers

“For the past two years the Clarendon Alliance has been extraordinarily fortunate to have Melissa Lew as our design professional. From our various websites to our logos and event posters, Melissa has been instrumental in bringing the CA into the 21st century. She has always delivered great work—on-time, and on-budget. What’s more, her support is first rate! I am happy to recommend Melissa to anyone needing prompt, professional, high-quality design.” – Matt Hussmann, Executive Director, Clarendon Alliance

“Melissa Lew is an extremely talented artist.  She is driven to get you stellar results even within a small window of time.  She’s also very detailed, organized and task oriented.  She takes care of the entire process – hire her!” – Jennifer Elizabeth Miller, Owner and Designer of The JEM Collection
