Hi! I'm Melissa, the owner of Lilac Creative - a company that's a bit two-fold in it's purpose. First, I help small businesses with their marketing and graphic design needs. Second, I proofread legal transcripts for court reporters.

I started this business when I realized that many small business need marketing help but don't need a full-time team. After years of helping friends and family with small requests here and there, I decided to take the plunge and make it my full-time gig. I spent over 14 years working in the marketing field in the education market and the ag market. In that time, I handled designing logos, web banners, direct mail, business cards, and even catalogs. I also wrote radio ads, articles, and commercials. 

I want to give people a flexible and affordable option for marketing help when they need it. I offer everything from photo editing and flyers to direct mail and logos and everything in between! I've got a sharp eye for detail, and whether it's some help with proofreading catalogs, creating new marketing materials, or editing a family photo so everyone is looking, I've got you covered!

Since I freelance full-time, I can make you my priority! I’m a perfectionist and have a keen eye for detail. I love reading, music, true crime, traveling, and having my hands in the dirt. I've got two furbaby cats named Moki and Rocco (but we call them Bear and Buddy) who love to "help" me proofread and couldn't be happier that I spend most of my days at home!
