Hi, I’m Mel
A Napier-based graphic designer and the founder of Pixel Project, where I help small businesses, creatives, and couples bring their stories to life through thoughtful design.
From branding and social media templates to journals and keepsakes, I’m all about making design approachable and meaningful. I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed trying to get your visuals “just right”, which is why I love teaching others simple, practical ways to create designs that feel authentic and on-brand.
With a background in both professional design and DIY-friendly tools like Canva, I bridge the gap between what looks good and what actually works for you. My workshops are hands-on, supportive, and designed to give you confidence (without the overwhelm).
When I’m not designing, you’ll find me walking the scenic streets and pathways of Napier, doing Pilates, or enjoying a hot chocolate and a bite at one of our local spots.
I can’t wait to welcome you to the workshop and help you feel more confident creating content for your brand!
