Hello, and welcome to my portfolio!

Hi, I’m Melinda, I come from a place not too far from here called Middle Earth, also known as New Zealand, but for the last 10 years, Melbourne has been my home. I’m a geek about many things, including art & design, and have always enjoyed having a career that allows me to exercise my creative side, while still puzzling out the more logical side for the best solutions to excite consumers.

I’ve acquired 8 years of experience as a graphic designer, specialising in packaging and product design within the retail sector. Most often working projects through from conceptualisation to delivery. I am adept at completing projects promptly and experienced in guiding the artwork of junior designers. I enjoy print media and its tactile nature and love figuring out how to make dielines work best.

I also work in vector-based illustration, known for my quirky cartoon style in textile and surface design.
