Testimonials
“Over the last couple of years I’ve gotten to know Melissa as a highly intelligent, self-aware person with great work ethics. She has a very good understanding of where she can add value for customers, co-workers and company. Apart from being a lovely person, she’s an absolute pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her in whatever endeavor she chooses.”
- Freek Goutte,
IT manager Rabobank
"Melissa is a highly driven professional with an eye for detail. We worked together on several projects at Freo, and her creative ideas and ability to think beyond the obvious were striking. In her role as content marketeer, she understood the value of good UX and was eager to learn more about it. This added significant value to the team and to the projects we worked on. Moreover, Melissa's warm personality made her particularly pleasant to work with."
- Robby Warring,
Senior UX Designer
"Melissa wrote a highly innovative and high quality Master's thesis to complete her university degree in New Media Design. She works independently, is reliable, communicates in a clear and professional way, and finds creative solutions when required. I am convinced that it will be a pleasure to have her on board of any team."
- dr. David Peeters,
Supervisor Master's Thesis
"Melissa demonstrated great independence and research skills during her Bachelor’s Thesis project. In her work, she pursued her own interest in the anchoring effect while always keeping in mind the larger scope of the project she partook in. She was very pleasant to work with, had a critical stance, but was open to advice from others."
- dr.ir. Antal Haans,
