Brand Eleven Eleven is a creative studio focused on branding, design, education, and digital experiences that help businesses, non-profits, and organizations communicate with clarity and purpose.
Founded by Melissa Link, Brand Eleven Eleven blends over 30 years of experience in graphic design, marketing, web design, education, and creative technology. The studio was built on the belief that strong design is more than aesthetics — it is storytelling, strategy, communication, and connection.
Melissa currently serves as an Adjunct Instructor at State College of Florida in both the Graphic Design Department and the Advanced Technology Center. She also teaches at Manatee High School in the areas of Art, Game & Animation, and Computer Science, while serving as Certification Coordinator. Her professional and educational background allows Brand Eleven Eleven to bring together creative thinking, technical skills, curriculum development, and real-world industry experience.
Throughout her career, Melissa has worked with businesses, schools, startups, nonprofits, community organizations, and entrepreneurs to create meaningful visual identities and engaging user experiences. She is certified in User Interface Design and Adobe Creative Cloud products and has a strong passion for teaching, curriculum writing, workforce readiness, and helping others develop creative and technical skills.
At Brand Eleven Eleven, every project begins with listening, research, and understanding what makes each client unique. The goal is to create thoughtful, modern design solutions that not only look professional, but also communicate effectively and build authentic connections.
