Once upon a time...
Melody's creative journey began as a little girl and was nurtured by her supportive parents. As a child, her mom signed her up for art lessons and found local competitions where she could share her work. Meanwhile, her dad (who was designing long before Illustrator or Photoshop existed) opened the door to the world of graphic design. They gave Melody resources, encouragement, and access that fueled a love for creating that she carries to this day.
By age 13, she decided to put together a makeshift graphic design portfolio and applied to an online creative agency. After acceptance, Melody began designing branding for businesses. While most kids had a lemonade stand, she had the Adobe Creative Suite! That “early hustle” taught her how to work with real-world projects and clients, eventually earning the highest level of recognition as a Top Level Designer in their program.
That exposure helped her in college, where she pursued a degree in Graphic Design. During Melody's studies, she gained valuable experience
working as a designer in advertising and picked up multiple awards at local and academic levels, including the American Advertising Federation's (ADDY's Awards) Best of Show and four Gold awards in her district as a student. She graduated with honors and even more passion than when she started.
Now, Melody is grateful to be a graphic designer and illustrator for a wonderful ministry, paints in her home studio, and shares her creative journey online. As she looks ahead, she is excited to continue building her distinctive body of work and deepen connections with collectors and creative communities in Central Florida and beyond.
Through every season, she has seen God’s hand guiding her steps, and to Him alone she gives the glory. Melody's hope is that the joy and peace she has in her heart radiates through her work.
true love!
