Johnna Green, Jurate

We couldn't have nicer things to say about working with Mellani! From the first time we met with her it felt like she really cared about our project and making sure we were excited with the end result. We asked for playful and modern and that's exactly what she gave us. She was incredibly organized and made the process seamless. I have worked with many graphic designers and never have I had anyone be so generous with their ideas and how to make the assets she gave us work for anything from our website to packaging. Mellani set us with the ability to use our branding in everything we do. Thank you!

Mary Ann Van West Broek, Style Approximately

Mellani is an incredible designer. She gets to know her clients on a deeper level so that their best selves are showcased in their brand. Mellani helped me expand on my ideas and unlocked a world of potential for the future of my website. She is a great person to brainstorm with because she is truly passionate about her clients and their needs. Before working with Mellani, I was stuck on what I should do with my website and brand. After filling out the survey, we had a long discussion going through it. One of the first things she told me is that she knows I'm a fun person, and that should be showcased in my brand. I needed to hear that. It changed everything for me for the better. When she presented her work to me, I was floored with the quality and detail of the presentation. I will freely admit that I teared up when reading through my brand presentation because I felt truly seen and heard. Thank you, Mellani! Would love to work with you again

Kristina Lacson McConnico, Lacson Ravello

Mellani offered exactly what I needed to elevate my brand Lacson Ravello to the next level. Mellani takes a very thoughtful and thorough approach in uncovering the true DNA of your brand—asking some very challenging questions while guiding you to that "Aha!" moment. Her collaborative working style makes you feel like you're an integral part during the entire creative journey.

Aleza Guiriba Ma, Brycie Prints

Working with Mellani for my re-branding was a treat and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Through our discussions, she helped me focus on what I'm trying to accomplish with my business. She listened to all of my concerns and answered every question. In the end, she put together a beautiful package with all the elements needed for a cohesive brand look. I'm thankful for her attentiveness and artistry. It truly shows through her work!

Hello!

I’m Mellani.

I was born in the Philippines and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area when I was 5. From a young age, my parents taught me the importance of hard work, building relationships, and helping others.

For as long as I can remember, I have been obsessed with letters and paper. I’d spend hours looking at magazines, catalogues, and signs. To me, there was just something so calming and aesthetically pleasing in seeing letters, the layout of images and words, or how a certain font can trigger an emotion. I’m so grateful that my love for letters eventually found its way to a career where I help small creative businesses grow through design. I also believe in giving back to my community and donate a percentage of my income to local non-profit organizations.

When I’m not busy geeking out on fonts and stationery, you can find me supporting small local businesses and looking for new hiking trails with my husband, Dave.

Let’s work together.
