Charlotte Miley

Executive Creative Director at Metabolic

"Mel is an extremely talented creative. While working with her for around 4 years she was an invaluable member of our creative team. She can brainstorm an idea, shoot and execute, design and finalize a concept. With having a hand in every part of production she stayed mindful of the final context and purpose of the creative. She stays up to date with design and photography trends and executes new ideas while staying within existing brand guidelines. While she has the ability to be a one-person production team, she always worked well within the team. She took constructive feedback with no ego, and pushed other creatives in the team to do their best work. With her versatile skillset and great attitude, Mel would be an amazing addition to any creative team."
