Why I Started Studio Melbie...
From a quiet ache came something blooming.
. . . and to give voice to stories I couldn’t find anywhere else. Studio Melbie was born in the in-between, between burnout and hope, between who I was and who I wanted to become.
At first, it was just design. Just illustration. But with every project, I realized I was creating more than just designs, I was helping people create clarity from vision, giving shape to quiet ideas until they became visible - real enough to hold in their hands, and tender enough to carry meaning. And somewhere in the middle of that, I realized: I was making my own dream come true too.
I see this growing into something bigger. A place for community. For storytelling across mediums. For imaginative worlds, thoughtful design, and meaningful connection - for all ages, all stages, and all kinds of dreamers.
I didn’t set out to build a studio. I set out to find peace, to recover from the worst year of my life. . .
