Hey there, I'm Melissa! 

I started Branch Creative in July of 2009 as a side hustle while working full time. As I became a mom and our family grew, I was blessed to be able to grow that side hustle into a full time dream job, working from a corner desk in the kitchen and eventually from my beautiful home studio while building a team of contractors to support me. 

Design has been a passion of mine for many years—from my early days (before even turning double digits) when I would put together the “family newsletter” using Microsoft Paint, to my first real job as a designer at a local print shop—I have always loved this industry and dreamed of running a business!

In addition to Branch Creative, my husband and I are owners of Severance Brewing Company in downtown Sioux Falls, SD. This endeavor has gifted me with the experience of being on both sides of branding; as client and designer.
 

As a business owner, I understand the decision making, passion, and grit it can take to run a business. As a brand strategist and designer, I also realize the importance of building a cohesive brand and the intricacies of design. 

 

I'm excited to bring both perspectives to the table to help you succeed in both business and branding! 

Cheers!

Kind words <3

When it comes to paying attention to detail and keeping your client informed in every step, Branch does this and more! My ideas turn into something stunning, professional and eye catching. I love that I have a company I can trust in many more design requests. Hands down exceptional service!
