Hi, I'm Mel.

I help brands uncover what they want to say and shape it into something people want to hear. Strategy, voice, story, message, I turn the chaos into clarity. And I genuinely love doing it.

 

I've worked across tech, education, nonprofits, and creative agencies. I adapt quickly, ask questions, and end up being the person people DM with "Can you help me make this sound better?"​​

 

Where I come from and why it matters

I was born in L.A. but grew up in Brooklyn, raised by Argentine parents who taught me about culture, identity, education, and the importance of telling your own story.

​

I came of age in NYC in the ’90s and early 2000s: moshing at underground punk shows, playing handball in the parks, and grabbing the best slice on my walk home. I graduated from Boston University in 2009 during the recession, which made me scrappy, resourceful, grateful, and genuinely optimistic.

​

Where I’m from shapes how I write: grounded, human, curious, and full of heart.

​

My creative personality in a nutshell

I'm the friend who:

  • Knows the precise word you're looking for 

  • Rewrites your texts so they sound like you, but better

  • Falls down Reddit rabbit holes "for research”

  • Buys a new notebook for every idea

  • Gets excited by great packaging (I don’t need it… but I want it)​​​​​​

​

I'm always excited to learn about new projects. Let's work together!
