Melanie is a dream to work with – she is highly motivating, enthusiastic, creative, and consistently driven and positive about our (sometimes daunting) task/production list. Her commitment to the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre over the past two + years has created a notable shift in our brand’s look and feel, creating authentic and engaging content that we’re proud to share with the world. Her keen attention to detail paired with big-picture planning makes her the best possible contract worker out there. I would highly recommend Melanie to anyone looking to build out their company’s brand guide, for a production lead on film shoots (photography and video), for ad design, and for any creative-based project work!

You know that philosophy about knowing when something is “good enough” and not delaying a project while you strive to achieve perfection. What if you could achieve perfection out of the gate? What if you could work with someone that provides creativity, clarity and brilliance all in the same go. Melanie Anne Bitner is no stranger to the art of understanding the vision and bringing it to life - pretty perfectly I might add. It’s a philosophy and work ethic that works for me.

Over the past several years I have hired Mel to assist on a variety of projects. She has a consistent and easy approach. The first thing Mel always does is to ensure she understands what your goals are and what message(s) you wish to convey. She does this by asking questions in a very astute manner and gets to the point quickly. She then ensures her scope of work scope is well defined and establishes a way to make things happen that works for you. In terms of the work itself, Mel is as innovative as you want her to be and provides great options for you to consider. The final products are always of great quality. Her designs are crisp, professional, innovative, upbeat and engaging.

Melanie is indispensable on the team. She takes initiative and teamwork to a whole new level. Brings passion, creativity, organization, and skill to the table everyday with an incredibly positive attitude even when under pressure

Melanie is a pleasure to work with, imaginative and creative, reliable and with great attention to detail! She has great communication skills, both in interacting with us as clients, and in communicating our ideas and visions through her creations. Her meticulous time and project management ensure that deadlines are met, and she is patient and accommodating for last minute changes and requests. She always presents creative solutions for our projects, and provides great input with her linguistic and marketing knowledge. Her previous experience in the printing business are valuable assets when working through major print jobs. I happily recommend Melanie to anyone looking for a graphic designer that not only does the job well, but understands the clients' vision and mission!

Working with Melanie was insightful and liberating. Her process was simple and fun and provided just the right touch of structure. The 360 Brand Analysis provided an in depth view of my goals and aspirations, my "right" customer, product offerings, business values and more. Her personal integrity, skill and knowledge of brand development allowed me to connect my personal priorities with the foundation of Laurel's Logic. Starting a business is fraught with challenge, little details of daily commitments and discoveries about your clients, business partners and yourself. Using Melanie's marketing map and brand analysis tools enabled me to periodically check in with where I was going and why it was important to me and my business. I am more successful and confident in the journey thanks to Melanie Bitner.
