Hey, I’m Mel – Designer, Dreamer & Your Creative Cheerleader
GRAPHIC DESIGNER BASED IN NAPIER, HAWKE’S BAY, SUPPORTING NEW ZEALAND WIDE!
Pixel Project is my WFH design studio where purpose meets personality. I work with small biz owners to bring ideas to life, in which ever platform its best.
Whether I’m building out a brand, creating custom Canva templates, or crafting an email workflow you’ll actually want to show off, my approach is always the same:
Kind. Creative. With your vision at the centre.
WHat’s My Story,
I here you ask…
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.
It started as wedding journals and keepsakes, squeezed in around a 9-5. Over the last 4 years it's grown into something bigger, with brand creation front and centre now, and other creative services layered in as my clients need them.
Now, I spend my days designing for fellow creatives, business owners, and dream chasers, building brands, content, and visual pieces that make them feel proud, polished, and like they've got their sh_t together.
I’m a Kiwi creative, juggling biz and mum life with a 8-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, template support, 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
Teaching Canva skills that actually stick, so you feel confident long after we've worked together
Designs made to last, not just trendy templates, but timeless brands and content
Comfort + style activewear + trackies when cold and cute dresses when it’s hot
Being your design BFF when you need someone who gets it
