about melo design

Melo Design is the freelance design studio of Melissa Lorenzen Smith.

I love to create clean, easy to use websites. I have over a decade of web and graphic design experience, and have worked with numerous small businesses and non-profit organizations.

I base my design principles on simplicity and functionality. Design should not get in the way of content, it should enhance the experience. Appropriate colors, typography and layouts are crucial for a professional, successful design.

I also design logos, business cards, flash animation and short videos. I love collecting fonts, reading photoshop tutorials and taking photographs. I speak css and xhtml, and if I'm staring at an advertisement, I'm probably trying to guess the font used. Seeing the word 'vector' makes me happy. I am a proud design geek.
