About Melissa
I’m a UX writer. Before that, I was a Peace Corps volunteer, English teacher, linguistics grad student, and UX designer.
Today, I enjoy solving complex problems through conversational language. As someone who’s been the First UX Writer on a number of teams throughout her career, I’ve also become really passionate (and skilled!) at working alongside my Designer counterparts to:
Illustrate the value of early UX involvement in product development
Create positive and impactful change in the culture of UX Design and Writing collaboration
Advocate for a Content-led approach to design
In my free time, you can find me learning languages, singing and practicing guitar, seeing live music, sewing, baking, cycling, boxing, traveling with little prior planning, and agonizing over About Me pages.
