About
Melissa has always been an avid reader — as a young girl, she would often end up reading bedtime stories to her parents. She has also always been an artist – hand her some large paper and some markers and she’s happy.
Her love of art, design and type naturally led her to book design. Although there were many nay-sayers who declared that books were dead, she soldiered on. A few years back, she received her degree in Electronic Media, Arts and Communication with concentrations in Digital Art and Communication Design from Rensellaer Polytechnic Institute, and started working for The Troy Book Makers.
By day, Melissa is now the Art Director and designs books, covers, websites, and collateral materials. Here at Pogostick Studios, Melissa also designs books but she also creates brochures, flyers, posters, websites and other promotional materials for small businesses and non-profits. Check out the portfolio to see some of the work she’s done.
