Thanks for dropping by! I'm Melissa Means, your go-to virtual design assistant located in Oceanside, California.

​

With my interior design degree in hand, I've honed my skills in the nitty-gritty aspects of design - think technical drafting, space planning, 3D modeling, and creating presentations that'll make your clients swoon. My superpower? Relieving my fellow designers of their design dilemmas and delivering precision-wrapped, functional designs.

​

In 2020, I set sail on this exhilarating design journey, and it's been a blast! My mission? To tackle the design tasks that eat up your time and enhance your client-facing game. From technical drafting to space planning, 3D modeling, and creating beautifully rendered elevations, I'm here to make your design life easier and more efficient.

​

I've joined forces with over 30 brilliant designers across the United States and Canada, teaming up on more than 175 design adventures worldwide. Collaboration is the name of the game, and I'm all in!

I've even created a virtual networking group called the VDA Lab Collab, where fellow freelance designers and virtual design assistants come together for a dash of inspiration, a pinch of knowledge sharing, and a whole lot of support. After all, there's nothing better than growing together.
