Hello! I’m Melissa, a freelance digital artist from Guatemala. Welcome to my portfolio! I started my art journey in 2015 when I began taking art seriously.

Along the way, I had the chance to work for an online newspaper, collaborating with a great team to create infographics. When the pandemic hit, the department dissolved, leading me to start a new chapter as a freelancer.

It’s been a rewarding experience, helping me build confidence while always learning. Right now, I’m into acrylic painting and learning more about artistic anatomy.

I’m excited about new projects with a positive mindset.

    uniE621 Logo Design: UPI
    Introducing the logo for a children-centric board game, where the design centers around the creative play and imagination sparked by users as they interact with the game board. UPI was created using the initials for "Unidad para Imaginar," translating to Unit for Imagination. This unit is particularly designed for young patients in hospitals, providing them with a dedicated space to craft imaginative stories in their minds.
    uniE621 Patient Playtime: Beach Board Adventures
    The main objective of this project is to create a suitable and entertaining environment that allows children to enjoy their time while waiting for their medical procedures. A board game is a solution to keep children entertained while they wait for blood extraction, enabling them to explore a beach scene and create stories, ultimately enhancing the experience for both children and their families in the hospital. This is the artwork intended for use on the board. #illustrator #playtime #Beach #drawing #ChildrenIllustration #Board
