About Me

Hi! I’m Melissa Ortega.
A multidisciplinary designer with an artistic background based in Berlin.

I’m a visual designer who transforms complex challenges into intuitive, human-centred experiences. With a multidisciplinary background spanning visual arts, project management, and cultural work, I bring a unique perspective to design, one that values both creative excellence and strategic thinking. My approach centres on thorough research, collaborative iteration, and crafting solutions that resonate across diverse audiences.
I’m particularly drawn to the intersection of storytelling and functionality, whether I’m building scalable design systems, creating motion graphics that enhance user engagement, or leading cross-disciplinary teams through complex projects. When I’m not designing, you’ll find me exploring printmaking techniques, creating illustrations, or discovering authentic local experiences in new cities.
