I’m Melissa

I’m a creative design leader with 12 years experience shaping human-centered digital experiences across MedTech, Robotics, and Automotive—delivering real-world products in highly regulated environments where safety, usability, and human factors are critical. I’m especially drawn to products that blend physical and digital worlds, and turning thoughtful ideas into tangible, interactive experiences.

My background spans from scrappy startup to global organizations, with a versatile skill set across interaction design, 3D, motion, interactive prototyping, visual design, and design systems.
