Hey, I'm Melissa
I’m a designer and digital illustrator based in Hamilton, Ontario. My signature illustration style is a playful combination of happy faces and bold colours, made pixel perfect by my background in graphic design. My work is available across a variety of products including punny greeting cards, eye-catching art prints, cute digital wallpapers, and inspiring licensable patterns. I also love working one-on-one with clients to create custom illustrations and patterns to suit their needs.
I’ve worked as a professional graphic designer for more than 8 years in a variety of branding, graphic, and web design roles. In late 2023 I finally decided to give my passion for illustration the attention it deserves. In 2024 I opened my Etsy shop, started sharing my work on social media, and put focus into creating art on a consistent basis. Since then, I’ve rediscovered my love of illustration and my passion for entrepreneurship, and can’t wait to see where this journey takes me.
In my free time, I love drawing, rewatching movies I’ve seen already, and going for walks with my fiancé. I also watch way too much trash reality tv and am always on the hunt for the best chicken fingers.
If you have a project you want to chat about or an illustration that caught your eye, please don’t hesitate to reach out – I’d love to hear from you.
