Unique blend of creativity and technical know-how

Recent Project: Custom logo and business card for a client

My name is Melanie Leetmaa and creating unique, visually appealing design is my passion.

I'm currently a student, one class away from graduating in a local web/graphic design program.
I absolutely love design AND technology. I have a bachelors degree in Design Technology from Buffalo State College. I have spent most of my time working in technical support positions and creating art. I love the process of creation from start to finish.

I am full of ideas, love learning new things and am currently studying HTML5, CSS3 and guitar. I have a great eye for spotting trends and am extremely detail oriented.
