Mel Classic on a Mac Classic
Bio
Hiya! My name is Mel (Melissa to my family, Mel L Cool J to Amazon.com).
After attending an arts-focused public high school in Tacoma, WA, I fell in love with design thinking as a way to put my creative talents into a meaningful career. I then moved to Portland for school and graduated in 2011 with honors and a BFA in Communication Design from Pacific Northwest College of Art.
I have been working as a graphic design professional since 2010, gaining much of my experience in freelance advertising, branding, illustration, and in-house-everything for a small upscale grocery chain. In 2017 I entered the fast-paced agency world and now work on social good marketing endeavors as an Art Director with C+C.
In my spare time I am: drawing, learning Spanish, cooking, gardening, collecting, thrifting, running, and playing with my dog Rita.
