Hi there - my name is Melissa. 👋 I have 17 years experience in graphic design as a freelance artist, and decided to finally put a face to this little side gig. 2022 showed me life is short, and there's no day like today.
Cedar + Gray encompasses my whole why. My husband and I built our life in a little white house on Cedar Street in 2014. To further that symbolism, our last name means man of the forest. The summer of our wedding, my husband and his brother took a Pacific Northwest adventure on motorcycles and camped under giant cedar trees. The cedar tree has become a creed of sorts for them, the tree of life.
Gray is our daughter's middle name. She was named after a dear family friend, a sweet, noble man. As, any parent would say, she is my reason for everything.
I specialize in branding, but also love designing for weddings (my full time job is catering & event coordination.) I'll continue to post some of my previous jobs, but would love to put my creativity to work on your next project! Please share my page with your friends, family and colleagues. 🫶
