About Me
Hi there!
I’m Melissa Viana, a passionate Graphic Designer dedicated to transforming brands through striking visual narratives. With a proven track record of working with industry leaders like Clarks, Julius Marlow, SACHI, Hush Puppies, and Bayliss Rugs, I specialise in creating innovative solutions that elevate brand identities and drive measurable results.
I thrive on collaborating with senior marketing teams to translate complex ideas into visually compelling and effective outcomes. Whether it’s crafting captivating catalogues, impactful point-of-sale materials, engaging social media campaigns, or innovative packaging designs, I bring a keen eye for detail and a passion for excellence to every project.
Currently, I am expanding my skill set by training in Figma, a leading design tool that enhances my ability to create interactive and collaborative design experiences. This training allows me to stay at the forefront of design technology and deliver even more dynamic and user-friendly solutions.
On a personal note, I love travelling and spending quality time with my husband and daughters. I’m also an avid fan of reality TV, interior design, and consider myself an armchair expert on boy bands.
