Many designers get the accolades for making a beautiful house, while the construction workers who laid the foundation usually get a warm lunch. Meet one of our hybrid general contractors, Melanie.

A recent graduate from Texas Tech University (yes, another one at HCK2 Central), Melanie puts her nose to the grindstone and helps us all discover more about clients through media lists, pitch development, brainstorm ideas and the occasional pitch of a story. She’s new to the team. She’s already making an impression. And, she’s close to being WNBA tall… for what that’s worth.

Suffice to say, we feed this contractor quite a bit. If you are one of our clients fortunate to work with her, you will want to make her a sandwich as well. Of course, this closet OCD individual will probably organize the meat and cheese first, but we will get to that later.

Melanie’s Favorite Quote

Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don’t bother just to do better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try better than yourself.
