Hey, I’m Mel – Designer, Dreamer & Your Creative Cheerleader
Pixel Project is my WFH design studio where purpose meets personality. I work with small biz owners, couples, and memory-keepers to bring ideas to life — beautifully and meaningfully.
Whether I’m building out a brand, creating custom stationery, or crafting keepsakes you’ll actually want to show off, my approach is always the same:
Kind. Creative. With your vision at the centre.

My Story
(The Short Version)
I started Pixel Project with one goal — to help good people create beautiful things.
With a background in design, a love for storytelling, and a soft spot for documenting memories, I knew there was space for a brand that felt real and thoughtful. Something that felt like you — but elevated.
Now, I spend my days designing for fellow creatives, wedding lovers, and dream chasers, building visual pieces that make them feel proud, polished, and like they’ve got their sh_t together. *(In the best way.)
I’m a small-town creative juggling biz and mum life with a 6-year-old little lady and hubby.
I value ease, intuition, and good vibes. I love helping people spot the spark in their ideas and build it into something tangible — whether that’s a brand, a memory, or a piece of printed magic.
Behind the brand...What I’m All About…
Connection-first design that’s warm, inviting, and never cookie-cutter
Creative support that makes you feel seen and celebrated
Designs made to last — not just trendy templates, but timeless stories
Comfort + style (activewear or dress by day, heels by night if I must!)
Being your design BFF when you need someone who gets it
