Kind Words

“Melissa was amazing to work with. Early on, we were reluctant to invest in our branding and thought we could do it ourselves. But after countless rounds of drawing up logos that weren't quite the right fit, we knew we had to get serious about our brand if we wanted potential customers to take us seriously. Hiring Melissa was the best business decision we could have ever made. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

Melissa took the time to truly understand our business and branding goals. We will never forget spending 3 hours with Melissa teaching her all about different coffees, how they are processed and brewed. She was genuinely interested in what we had to say and sharing coffee with her while talking brand strategy was so much fun!

We couldn’t wait to see what Melissa had created for us at each stage of the branding process, and it was such an amazing experience to watch our brand come to life from nothing. Melissa taught us that our brand could appear established and sophisticated even though we were just starting out, and crafted a logo for us that looked established yet warm and inviting. Without Melissa’s expertise, we wouldn’t have felt proud or excited to paint our logo on the exterior of our building. Our signage, which Melissa also designed, has attracted many passersby on the street who have become customers because we looked like a legitimate coffee shop.

Years later, we still get compliments on our logo all the time.

We can’t thank Melissa enough for putting a face to our business. We definitely encourage other small business owners to utilize Melissa’s services as she is professional, experienced and innovative. Take your branding seriously and don’t be afraid to invest the money as it will pay off tremendously. A logo and brand identity are the first things that will attract a customer to your business and in a world where consumers are faced with choice overload, any way that you can stand out is crucial.”
