Hello there and welcome to my online portfolio. My favorite aspect of graphic design is that it’s constantly evolving and benefitting aesthetics. In this industry, a new day equates to a new design. Possessing creativity is a blessing I intend to capitalize on. Young, eager design professional and avid sports fan and athlete.
Some of my more recent projects have married my two passions: graphic design and sports. This online portfolio will serve as a stage to capitalize on my blessing and my passion. I welcome any opportunity to learn new techniques and network with peers in the creative field.
On this site you will find a plethora of experience with various platforms in which I have used in my professional and charitable career. I have worked with a wide range of clients: Sysco Foods, Target, NCAA, and Memorial Hermann Hospitals to name a few.
These opportunities listed have enabled me to develop strong communication, interpersonal, organizational, and leadership skills, allowing me to cultivate a supportive learning environment and reinforce the companies or charities standards, policies, and goals.

Vice President, Seebridge Media
Melissa Sims has been a great asset for Seebridge Media. She is an incredible source of creativity for our design department. Her speed and talent has kept our customers coming back and opened new doors of opportunity. I have had the pleasure of working with her for many years and I have seen the amazing artistic and technical skills she outputs daily. She is a team player and has never been shy to take on the biggest projects.
She is not just a talented co-worker, but also a great person in general who spends hundreds of hours a year doing charity work and donating her time to worthy causes.

Art Director, MMI Agency
Melissa has been great asset to my freelance business for many years. She is able to translate key messages into graphic images. As an expert user of Adobe Creative Suite, she can execute concepts into designs needed for any project. Her designs can range from elegant to whimsical, depending on the campaign requirements. Her attention to detail is impeccable. At the same time, Melissa works efficently and always meets the deadline not matter what.
Melissa also has excellent interpersonal skills. She’s comfortable communicating with people from various backgrounds, including internal staff, vendors, and clients. She’s extremely patient and knows how to listen well to fully grasp the key messages behind every campaign. I would highly recommend Melissa for any design needs, she has a great work ethic and has a very successful career ahead of her.

Owner, The Blonde Side
I have been working with Melissa Sims since the inception of my sport's column, The Blonde Side, over four years ago. Working with Melissa has been critical to the success of the branding campaign we have created together. Melissa provides ideas and brainstorms with me on a regular basis and always delivers quality and detail-oriented work on time and with enthusiasm always going above and beyond the seemingly difficult tasks I throw her way.
Having graphical elements and other marketing collateral to a personal brand is key to success in this crowded industry and Melissa's work always stands out and surprises, not only me, but many of my readers and editors.
