Mello Image

Yo, my name is Mello.

Chicago

I'm a graphic designer, web developer, motion graphic artist, and composer. Specializing in After Effects, FL Studio, and Illustrator, I have a passion for creating visually appealing and engaging experiences for my clients.

Currently attending the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, pursuing my undergraduate degree, I've been teaching myself design since I was 16, driven by my love of video games and anime. I enjoy working on projects that require thinking outside the box and weaving in multiple mediums. Currently, I am working with Ricky Pacas at our animation studio, Studio2Tek, the team behind the Goshi Bumper.

As a musician, I've worked on video game OSTs and released my own discography, with over 10,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. I've played sold-out shows all over Chicago and traveled to NYC, LA, and Houston.

P.S. This entire website was hand-coded by ME.
