Meet our awesome design panel:

Ali Green – Co-owner and Creative Director of GreenMellen Media. A gifted problem solver, Ali is able to convert a daunting mix of wishes, ideas and technical requirements into elegantly simple outcomes by clarifying client goals, stimulating their strategic and tactical thinking and solving development problems at each stage of a project, always with the end-user in mind.

Ashlea Lanier – Interactive Developer at GreenMellen Media. Ashlea’s gift is the ability to formulate the technical approaches that bring creative objectives to life. Her inventive balancing of the design and technical aspects of development is what makes GreenMellen projects so successful.

Chantelle Catania – Owner of Catania Creative and Art Director at GreenMellen Media. She understands that Design (with a cap “D”) is far more than decoration. It is the disciplined balance and simplicity that produces elegant functionality, a goal made possible only by her designer’s experience and disciplined adherence to a client’s objectives. Chantelle’s skills span small-business marketing as well as all print and digital media, so it’s no surprise that she works best when multi-tasking.

Alison Chandler – Owner and Designer at Alison Chandler. Alison works with purpose driven brands to provide cohesive marketing materials such as logos, websites, and print collateral.

Roy Fleeman – Co-Owner at Gentleman with experience in building brands from the ground up.
