With a background in higher education and career services, Melissa A. Venable, PhD, established Design Doc LLC in 2010 as a way to connect with freelance and consulting projects. Since then, she has worked with a variety of clients and audiences ranging from academic institutions and professional associations to private practitioners. Her focus is on online education and career development.

Through Design Doc, Melissa and her husband, Rob Petitgout, have been non-resident BDC members since its grand opening in 2017. As remote workers for more than a decade with large digital companies, they joined with an interest in not only getting involved in the Beaufort community, but also supporting the BDC's initiative to connect local tech-oriented entrepreneurs and creative professionals with resources and each other.
