Melina Castorillo is an asset to any team operation. She has worked with me from the beginning: planning, creating, and executing the design, messaging, and branding for my individual classes, workshops, website, and overall social media platform. Melina works holistically and specifically—she can see what you are trying to achieve, thoughtfully raise questions and give input, and deliver a product that satisfies all parties. I continue to be impressed with her communication skills, how she navigates difference, and her appetite for innovation and collaboration. A lot of people talk about social and emotional intelligence—how it’s crucial for a successful business culture: Melina has this quality. She’s flexible, always puts in her best effort, and is a cheerful presence with a good sense of humor and an upbeat attitude. Her winning aesthetic continues to both surprise and delight. She can execute multiple types of design and make the adjustments necessary to target the audience. She’s a talented creative. Her ability to understand how the visual works with words is highly commendable: it’s rare for people to be able to do both well. In short, any organization would do well to work with Melina Castorillo.
