Melissa grew up in a family filled with gamers and with a personal love of telling stories and entertaining people. After witnessing many cases in which the lives of the people around her were improved by video games she decided to enter the industry herself. She graduated from college with a degree in computer animation in 2008 and has been freelancing with several game companies since then, doing everything from 2D illustration and animation to pretty much the entire 3D process and beyond.

More than anything in life she is completely dedicated to excelling as an artist and storyteller so that she can participate in making truly great games which inspire others.
