MELISSA GORDON // GRAPHIC DESIGNER // MESUGO.COM 2
Hello! My name is Melissa Gordon and I’m a Graphic Designer
I’ve worked as a graphic designer and marketing professional, both in-house and freelance, for over 15 years.
Throughout my career I have worked on a wide range of projects for corporate clients like Autodesk, Pearson Education, and Cushman & Wakefield. I have been lucky enough to work for smaller clients too, from musicians and comedy groups, to natural products and nonprofits.
I am trained in Adobe Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop, with a hefty tool-belt full of professional design techniques and trends, both digital and analog. My education is in Fine Arts and Anthropology; both have been indispensable for a deep understanding of visual communications.

To paraphrase the luminous creative agency M&C Saatchi, I strive to work (and live) by the principle of “brutal simplicity.”
My design aim is strong, clear visual storytelling with a minimum of “fluff”. I appreciate natural forms and a prodigious use of negative space. Folk and traditional art, Japanese and Scandinavian design, architecture, history, and the natural world all influence my work deeply.
I lean on excellent photography and beautiful typefaces, combined with function-first layouts to deliver content by way of a natural flow and unobstructed, powerful messaging.
My specialties are print advertising and digital marketing design, including social media.
