She excels at simplifying complex ideas into one compelling image. Her designs
have been used in editorial projects, advertising campaigns and consumer products.
The images are expressive, colorful and thoughtful in their use of negative space.

Prior to diving into illustration, Melinda worked exclusively as an advertising art director and creative director for 16 years. Her experience working in adverting taught her to develop a range of ideas quickly, to edit, to collaborate, and to deliver a project on time. Collaborating with creative people is her favorite part of every project.

Currently Melinda is building an extensive line of cards and gifts for Ruby Sneakers Studio, the company she co-founded in 2021. She is available for freelance projects both as a creative director and illustrator.
