Hi I'm Melissa, the illustrator behind MelBee Draws! I always knew that I wanted to do something in the art world when I grew up, and I have been lucky to have had a wonderful career in design and illustration for the past 16 years.

I am incredibly passionate about creating, and I couldn't be happier than when I’m curled up and drawing away for hours. Products I have created can be found in stores like Target, Barnes & Noble, World Market and small boutiques across the US and UK. I hope my work brings a bit of joy to your day!

When I’m not creating, I love to explore the Pacific Northwest, add to my growing plant collection, or snuggle my sweet kitty, Oliver.

I am currently open for freelance illustration or design work, commissions and licensing. I would love to chat about how I can bring your ideas to life!
