Melissa Rysak, 

Melissa tells the stories of EDiS people and projects, communicating the company’s values, building trust, and connecting the company with employees and customers alike.

Some people say that Melissa is always up in everyone’s business – and they would be right. As the Director of Marketing, it is Melissa’s job to keep track of the stories of EDiS, and to tell them in a way that keeps both our current and future clients, as well as our employees, engaged and connected to our mission. Melissa developed her passion for storytelling early on, and actually found a way to turn her passion into a career. She joined EDiS in 2016 to direct the marketing and business development strategy, and to lead the firm’s positioning and messaging with clients and the community. After 12 years as a marketing, communications, and business development professional in the AEC industry, she has learned that when marketing can work in tandem with business development to use a company’s stories to demonstrate what they can do – magic can happen.
