Creative Director
Melodee was born and raised in West Chester. Her love of design and print began when she was a teenager, thanks to her dad’s print shop in Paoli. She went on to study graphic design and worked in print production and management, and for over 25 years she owned a freelance design business. Melodee has attended Good Sam since January 2023 and enjoys the friendships and the rich liturgical expressions of faith she has found here. She began her role at Good Sam in August 2023.
Melodee completed a two-year program with the Renovaré Institute for Christian Spiritual Formation and is now pursuing a master’s degree in Christian Spiritual Formation & Leadership at Friends University. She has a particular interest in spiritual retreat and the practices of solitude and silence. She finds life in spiritual conversation, in learning and practicing habits of spiritual formation, and in reading good books about the spiritual journey.
She finds solace outdoors, taking walks and soaking in God’s beautiful creation. She also enjoys cooking and entertaining friends and family at her home in Elverson. She and her husband, Mark, have four married adult children and four granddaughters.
