Melony Martin
Office Manager
Melony Martin is the office manager at Imaginary Friends Design Studios.Texas might have birthed Melony, but Illinois gave us the little firecracker we know today. The office ‘mom’ -ager came in like a wrecking ball to shake things up and help drive the team to an elevated standard. Judge her not by her size, though, because she can sass with the best of them and her ‘mom finger’ comes locked & loaded . If something goes awry, you can be sure Melony will be there to straighten things up.
