Meleah Johnson
Creative Director
Picky means knowing what to look for, and what to leave behind. I use a perceptive vantage to shape brands that catch eyes, spin wheels, and inspire action. Backed by the wisdom of inter-disciplinary specialists, I blend seasons of experience with instinct to navigate projects with clarity. It takes a selective eye to curate a brand story that stands out.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Meleah on two large initiatives: a consumer health and wellness product and a complete website redesign. Her combination of creativity, professionalism, and dedication makes her a standout in any project. Not only is she a talented creative director and designer with a client-first attitude who always strives to overdeliver, but Meleah is also flexible, open to feedback, and committed to understanding what you need to bring your vision to life. On top of that, she’s fast, highly responsive, and incredibly reliable. And if all that corporate-y recommendation-speak isn’t enough, there’s also this: She’s a very cool, kind, down-to-earth person to work with.

Meleah has a unique combination of artistry and design skills. She produces the highest quality pieces that look like they were made by the top agencies. We consistently got complemented in the work she did for us. She is an incredible asset for any creative team. Not only in her personal skills, but also her ability to leverage her network to find external resources that complement her abilities, to consistently achieve the overall project goals.

Meleah is one of those rare creatives who makes everything she touches better—smarter, more beautiful, more intentional. We worked together at a brand strategy agency, and I was constantly blown away by her talent, her eye for detail, and the thoughtfulness she brought to every project. This combination of artistic instinct and strategic clarity is hard to come by. Since then, we’ve stayed close friends and have also partnered on freelance work. I continue to be inspired by her. She’s not only a gifted designer and creative director—she’s also kind, grounded, and someone you just want in your corner. Anyone lucky enough to work with her will walk away better for it.

I had the pleasure of working with and supervising Meleah during our time at Audacity Health, where she served as a vital member of our design team. Meleah is not just a designer; she is an exceptional one. Her creative talents were evident in every project she undertook, consistently delivering high-quality work. Meleah's contributions extended beyond her design skills. She was a fantastic team member, always willing to collaborate and share her ideas. Her enthusiasm and dedication was infectious, motivating other team members to push the boundaries of the work. I have no doubt that Meleah would be a valuable asset to any design team. Her passion for design, coupled with her strong work ethic and collaborative nature, make her an ideal colleague. Additionally, her versatility and adaptability make her equally well-suited for freelance projects, where she can bring her unique talents to a variety of creative endeavors.

Getting to be paired up with Meleah on projects always made me smile. Meleah is an absolute asset for any project that requires out-of-the-box thinking, attention to detail and technical skill. Her talent as a designer is matched by her intelligence and grounded work ethic. Meleah has a unique ability to bring clarity and creativity to the most ambiguous requests, transforming them into beautiful designs. I genuinely appreciated her readiness to challenge ideas constructively, making our collaborations both enlightening and immensely rewarding.

Meleah was highly creative, organized and very collaborative. Her collaboration and adaptability were key factors in making her a strong designer. She’s knowledgeable in Adobe CS and art production. Her determination, proficiency, and willingness makes Meleah a strong asset for any workplace and her genuine sincerity and benevolent smile is what makes Meleah stand out. It was always a good day knowing Meleah would be freelancing for us!

I had the pleasure of working with Meleah as her Creative Director and I can honestly say that she's a real pro in every way. Not only talented and fast with design and art production, she always does so with the utmost professionalism and a can-do attitude. There was no task beneath her and her willingness and ability to switch tasks and take on any challenge was greatly appreciated by everyone. Meleah Johnson is someone I would highly recommend!

Meleah is creative and at the same time very organized and methodic designer, she freelances with us every time we are overflowing with work, she is fast and proficient in Indesign, Photoshop, and many other Adobe Products. She has excellent organizational skills that make her an asset to those around her. She is kind and thoughtful and it has been a pleasure to work alongside her.

I've worked with Meleah on several projects creating custom solutions for websites. She is always clear and efficient when presenting the problem, and, as an engineer, I'm not sure I can adequately express how much I appreciate her thoughtfulness and understanding when discussing the technical aspects of a potential solution. Meleah is clearly not afraid to tackle a problem on her own, but she also knows when to reach out for help and provides a well-researched background for the issue at hand. It's obvious she's able to leverage this in her work: she brings immense value to any project due to her ability to provide designs that are not only creative and usable, but also technically feasible. Simply put, working with Meleah has been an amazing breath of fresh air.
