Hello, I’m Melissa

Computer monitor on a white desk displaying a design with the text "Hair by Katherine Cook," a small potted plant, a drawing tablet, and color swatches.

I am a Graphic Information Technology major with a Digital Audiences minor at Arizona State University. Before transitioning into design, I spent over a decade in the beauty industry, where I developed a strong sense of visual storytelling, color harmony, and brand experience. That background still influences my approach today—I’m drawn to work that blends creativity with purpose and connects design to real human experiences.

My current work spans branding, digital design, and print, with a focus on building designs that are bold, intentional, and audience-driven. My coursework has strengthened my technical skills in Adobe Creative Suite, color theory, and typography, while my minor adds insight into how design and marketing intersect. I’m passionate about creating visuals that not only look beautiful but also solve problems and communicate meaning with clarity.
