Melissa Gabriel

My career began in New York City, where I had the privilege of collaborating

with award-winning, Oscar-nominated editors on high-profile

projects for brands like Coach, Victoria's Secret, and Kate Spade.

Since then, I’ve built a career that blends creative leadership with

hands-on production expertise. In recent years, I’ve led creative

direction, concept development, and post-production for

hospitality, lifestyle, and food industry brands, managing

everything from idea pitch to final delivery. As Lead Creative at

Blakquail Productions, I’ve overseen campaigns for clients such as

Catface Café, The Francis Hotel, and The Longfellow Hotel —

conceptualizing, directing, and editing work that resonates across

digital platforms.

I thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments, and I’m as

comfortable managing creative teams as I am editing footage or

directing on set. My adaptability, sharp eye for detail, and passion

for storytelling have allowed me to consistently deliver engaging,

visually driven campaigns that connect with audiences.

I’ve attached my resume and portfolio for your review, and would

love the opportunity to discuss how my experience and creative

approach could align with your team’s goals.
