melissa morales
creative technologist & digital strategist
I love designing to educate, inspire and make ideas tangible.
Part designer, part technologist, part translator across disciplines—I collaborate cross-functionally to build human-centered digital experiences with meaningful impact.
With 15+ years of experience in digital communications, UX/UI design, multimedia production and web management, I continue to enjoy exploring how technological advances can be applied to education and communication.
Currently, I'm exploring ways to implement AI assistants in content creation and human in the loop workflows. In fact, I vibe coded this website using an AI assistant!
