Completing her studies in Wellington, New Zealand, Melissa’s thesis looked into design for providing pre-established disaster relief for at risk locations. The project delved into sustainable and mixed used design, working closely with the Wellington context and community to produce a final design outcome that enhanced current disaster relief plans.

Working in a variety of design software, Melissa has skills in planning and presentation of projects, with a passion for sustainable and communal design. She is excited to be working with 56three and expanding her knowledge in all stages of the design process.
