Melissa’s work is professional, quick and thorough. She was able to accommodate all of my requests in a timely manner and with a high degree of professionalism. I highly recommend her work. She was able to help me out when I was in a time bind and I was extremely impressed with her work.

Debbie Donohue, Owner, Global Career Pathways

I had the pleasure of working with Melissa Minnella at Connexion Technologies for nearly a year. She is one of the most talented designers I have worked with. I was so impressed by her work that I hired her as a freelance designer for special projects after her departure with the firm. With little direction, Melissa was always able to transform ideas into exceptional marketing materials including presentations, websites, micro sites, brochures, sales sheets, and advertisements. She was a tremendous asset to our team. Not only was she a designer, but she shared her knowledge and skills in branding, web development, SEO and social media. She is creative, has strong attention to detail and is a team player. I would recommend Melissa to any firm looking for a freelance designer or art director.

Alicia Massey, MBA, Director of Corporate Marketing and Sales Support, Connexion Technologies

I had the chance to leverage Melissa’s creativity as part of launching multiple sales and marketing campaigns. She helped design/create all types of materials for use in all types of channels whether it be for field sales efforts, websites, online & physical collateral, as well as ad campaigns for radio or TV. She has that special artistic talent of being able to sit down and ideate with you about what your are hoping to convey and then creating visualizations. That is paired with the endless patience required to handle the inevitable vagaries of dealing with people for whom you are trying to create imagery for based solely on their verbal/written descriptions.
