Hello!

I'm Melissa, and I am a Chinese-Australian illustrator, small business owner and designer based in Sydney.

I love creating pieces of work that not only bring comfort and joy, but also inspire, bring people together and make them feel less alone. My work tends to be playful and colourful, but as I continue to grow as a designer, I love exploring different kinds of visual styles and mediums.

Clients include Samsung, UTS, Derwent, Duo Duo, PappaRich & others.
