Melanie is a pleasure to work with. She took the time to learn about my business, my industry, and my personality as a business owner. I asked her for a logo but received a lot more. Before she would proceed, she met with me, asked thoughtful questions, and had me put some intention into my new brand. She is professional and incredibly talented. The feedback I received is overwhelmingly positive. Melanie’s work is an integral piece in taking my business to a new level.

She listened to our needs and offered valuable suggestions when composing a fresh look for this existing annual event. She is open to changes and meets deadlines. Melanie is knowledgeable when working with printers and can manage this end of a project too.

Her humor and upbeat attitude have only made our interactions that much more pleasant.
I met Melanie through a couple of networking groups we are both a part of and was drawn to her passion for design. We talked and she designed my logo for my business NOW Digital Marketing. She has great insights, not just ideas, for how things should look so they bring the customers or the interactions you are looking for. Highly recommend.

Working with Melanie was easy. We told her what we wanted, answered any questions, and then she delivered quickly and perfectly.

I love that!
Melanie is intuitive with color and design, and a true expert at developing brand assets. She is an efficient and patient professional, and also fun!

We are so glad we chose Melanie to work with. She took all of our ideas into consideration when creating our vision board. Melanie was patient and listened to every need we had.

Melanie created a stand-up banner for our company to use at trade shows. It is exactly what we needed to brand ourselves to current and future clients! She was creative, easy to work with, and guided us throughout the process so that the final product was perfect!
My project was initially rather complicated. Melanie made the process very easy for me, and I knew I was in capable hands from the start. She was also very professional and helpful in offering advice and useful tips. Melanie’s color sense is outstanding, and she beautifully captured the “fresh,” “diverse,” and “professional” feel I was striving for in my branding. In addition to great graphic design, Melanie provided a very professional package including files in various formats for multiple uses. She also produced a super helpful brand guide and a set of coordinating fonts. Now it is so easy to keep all my materials and visuals consistently branded. Working with Melanie was a terrific experience.
Melanie was our first (and truly only) choice of designer for the Rochester Beacon logo. She brings a fresh eye and imagination to all her work. Her designs are clean and sharply focused on the client’s needs. And her fluency in diverse design styles is exceptional. The response to our logo since the Beacon’s launch in October 2018 has been universally positive. We’d look forward to any opportunity to work with Melanie again.
Melanie designed a fresh and clean logo. I love the brand package. She said what she would do and did what she said. I have recommended Melanie Watson Design to friends many times.

She has a unique ability to strike the right tone with her designs, even when I give her very little direction. Across a variety of assignments, she has consistently produced elegant and clever designs that exceed my expectations — a feat that I’ve rarely seen in other designers. When I’m looking for a graphic designer, Melanie is always my first choice.
Melanie is a passionate branding artist and business owner. She is patient, creative, very thoughtful and soooo responsive to needs and questions. I loved that she made everything easy to understand and use! I’m certainly excited to have Melanie as my brand manager now!
