HELLO
My name is Melanie and I'm the Founder and Designer here at Vision City design studio. I've been running my own freelance studio for about 15 years, specializing in music covers, packaging, church branding and corporate identity design. My wonderful clients include music artists, record labels, churches, corporate clients, and start up companies.
MY STORY
I graduated with a diploma in graphic design from George Brown College in Toronto, where I also worked for several years as a Fashion Model. My first real design commission was for an album cover, and from that point on I was hooked. Since then, I had the honour of art directing and designing for clients all over the world.
Along my journey, my husband Chris (aka Manafest) and I relocated to California, where I decided to dive deep into illustration. I loved it so much that I launched my very own art print collection, which sold successfully online, in stores (Land Of Nod, Ross, Wayfair, Walmart to name a few!) and at a wide range of curated art shows in the USA and Canada.
​
With the success of my art products, I felt it was time to share what I had learned with other visual artists, so over the next few years I created a series of online courses. These courses quickly took off and gained a following of over 30 thousand students worldwide.
Today, Vision City Design Studio is now once again focusing on my first love of music design, as well as church branding and corporate visual identity.
