I’m Melody. I’m currently turning dreams into reality in the great big city of San Francisco. It’s people that inspire me. I love listening to and telling their stories. Maybe I’ll be lucky enough to tell yours?

My professional works spans a range of collateral for prospects, global and national clients, and internal efforts including but not limited to: mobile, web, motion graphics, video, multimedia and print. Most recently as a designer at a global agency, I had the opportunity to conceptualize and produce custom design solutions for new business initiatives, clients, and the internal brand — working with clients including a number of Fortune 500 companies in diverse markets. I’m currently at a boutique agency getting my hands into things like animation, installations, code — and a whole lot of digital.

My personal style and explorations are characterized by minimal illustrations and hand-lettering. I move from the computer back to making with my hands, pulled by thought of creating messes with ink, paint, texture. I’m passionate about traveling and new experiences that influence those pieces. I also enjoy photography, styling, interior design, coding, and writing. I’m never not making something.

I enjoy collaborating on small projects with cool people outside my 9 to 5. You can find some of that work over on Made x Mel, my blog. Send me a note if you’ve got an idea, or make an inquiry!
