What people are saying
Equity, innovation, and empathy are cornerstones to my work.
“Meli needs very little direction, works with true passion and empathy, and is endlessly collaborative. She has an innate drive to “do the right thing” for all users, and she brings others along with her in the process. I’ve learned so much from her in the years we’ve worked together and have always been able to count on her to patiently bring her passion to partners. She’s not only a pleasure to work with, but also someone whose influence leaves a lasting mark on teams and products. I sincerely hope our paths cross again.”
“What I admire most is that she’s not just knowledgeable, she’s practical. If something doesn’t meet accessibility standards, she always has an alternative or workaround ready, making collaboration much easier. Accessibility is a big, complex area, but working with Meli never felt overwhelming. She has a way of making it feel manageable and straightforward, which makes her a great partner.”
“Meli is more than just a designer; she’s a mobile wizard, an a11y specialist, an empathetic leader, and a staunch advocate for inclusive culture. I consider myself privileged to have been able to learn from her deep (and incredibly rare) knowledge at the intersection of mobile accessibility research and design. Both professionally and personally, Meli is someone I look up to and someone I can whole-heartedly recommend. I look forward to watching how she will continue to meaningfully change the world to become a better, safer, and more inclusive place for us all.”
“I worked with Meli at Ad Hoc for the better part of a year. During that time she re-imagined a web accessibility playbook for native mobile design, while designing and informing the user experience for said application. Meli was able to evaluate large amounts of information, keeping what was good, changing what was needed, and discarding what was not, with grace and efficiency. She collaborated with teammates and other accessibility specialists to deliver a high quality application.”
