Hi, I'm Mel!
I'm a graphic designer & photographer and I love making subtle fandom clothing so people can wear their faves 💖 I also share stuff like phone/desktop wallpapers and vectors!! I started a small online store in November 2019 and began tabling at conventions in May 2022.
I also design accessories, stickers, and stationery, and do some of my own screen printing and heat press printing. I'm based in the Twin Cities area in Minnesota but love getting to travel for conventions!
