Hey!

I’m Melissa Talkington.

A creative, founder, developer, and designer.

I grew up in a family that embraced art, creativity, and entrepreneurship. I cut my tech teeth in web development and design well before responsive design was a thing.

And I’ve been building and shipping beautifully unique products ever since.

Brandishing Creativity

Throughout my career building digital spaces and tools for all kinds of businesses and organizations, I’ve come to understand that the process of ideation and creation is just as valuable as the finished product. It takes a lot of effort to build the Essentials.

The Essentials

An fully crafted experience, designed and built with people in mind.

Connection

Encapsulating the essence of a brand perfectly - the whole experience oozes with personality, identifies a need, establishes awareness, and builds trust

Captivation

A custom-crafted, intentionally designed experience so seamless users never realize they’ve scrolled for 25000 pixels

Impact

Intentional flow allows users to find what they need, accomplish their goal, and get back into their day

Because real life happens outside the big wide world of the web, what we do here should make that world a better place.
