Hello! I'm Melanie.

I'm an illustrator and designer based in Chicago.

I strive to create unique, detailed illustrations mixed with modern, elegant design -- I definitely sweat every detail!

From bespoke wedding suites to custom skateboard decks, I've created work for both public and private clients across a variety of art and design projects nationwide. If there's a project you'd like me to consider, please feel free to contact me to discuss your ideas.

Some Details:

Influences: Frank Wilczek's book, 'A Beautiful Question'; E. Fay Jones architecture, mathematics, highly-detailed decorative arts, film stills, and always music.

Recent Inspiration: maps, the podcasts 'Off Camera' and 'On Being,' contour drawings, portrait photographers, Gucci's color palette.

Study and Training: School of the Art Institute, Chicago; University of Sussex, UK; Northwestern University, Evanston.
