About our studio.

At Matt & Mel’s, we work with your team to create packaging and in-store design that holds up through feedback, testing, approvals, and production — not just something that looks good in a presentation. We make sense of the feedback, keep decisions clear, and move projects forward.

We’re not here to push a style or add endless options. We’re here to solve the right problems and keep projects aligned with your goals.

That starts with understanding what you’re trying to get done, not just creatively, but across teams, timelines, and constraints.

We ask the right questions, interpret feedback carefully, and stay aligned with your brand, production realities, and internal expectations.

You get clear thinking, honest input, and work that feels like it fits, not something you have to force through approvals.

We deliver...

Work that moves forward
We reduce unnecessary rounds by responding to feedback accurately and keeping decisions clear. Less back-and-forth, and more progress.

A smooth working experience
Clear communication, quick responses, and no guesswork about where things stand. We stay organized, flexible, and easy to work with, especially when things get busy.

Speed without chaos
We’re used to tight timelines and can move quickly when needed. Our process scales down without falling apart, so fast-turn projects still feel considered and production-ready.

I’m an illustrator and designer with a background in textiles, pattern, and materials, and over 15 years of experience across a wide range of styles and industries.

I tend to think visually and conceptually at the same time, which makes me especially strong in early stages — exploring directions, and finding ideas that feel both creative and right for the brand.

My strength is versatility. I can shift between illustrative styles depending on what the project needs. That flexibility helps us adapt to different brands, categories, and creative challenges without forcing a solution.

When I’m not working, I’m usually baking something sweet, out in the garden, getting lost in a book, or spending time with my family and animals.

I’ve spent over 20 years working on packaging and in-store design for premium CPG brands — including more than a decade supporting a global brand, both in-house and as an external partner.

I understand how these projects actually work. Multiple stakeholders, tight timelines, shifting directions, and the pressure to get it right, not just get it done.

My role is to bring clarity to that process. Interpreting feedback carefully, helping teams land on clear decisions, and making sure the work holds up as it moves through the process.

Outside the studio, I’m usually with my kids, doing some fishing, hiking in the Whites, watching the Phillies, or out in the garden with Mel.
