Working with Mel is such an easeful experience. With her genuine excitement to always try new things, I feel like there's really no idea that's too outlandish to create. We've collaborated on several projects and she'll always be my go-to because even when we're working on a big project it's always fun and I always feel taken care of.

“Melarie has the most incredible soul. We partnered with her for philosophy’s amazing grace fragrance and truly could not have picked a more perfect partner. She optimizes living with grace. She is the ultimate professional, her incredible artwork draws the clients in and leaves you feeling inspired to be your most authentic self. Melarie is so easy to work with. She makes you feel like you have known her your whole life in an instant! I cannot wait to partner with her again in the future!”

This book was so important to me and I knew that Melarie was the perfect person to illustrate You Always Matter. Not only did she do an amazing job capturing the images that I needed to tell this story, she also gave me a level of creative freedom that allowed me to feel like the author and not just a client. She worked with my ideas and offered feedback on how we could make them better. The process was so collaborative and I felt like we created something really beautiful together.

What I loved about working with Melarie was her ability to take my vision and make it come alive. She has a wonderful personality which made what could have been a stressful part of my book writing process, a fun, and enjoyable experience. I can't wait to work with Melarie again and I highly recommend her for your book cover design needs!
