Who am I?
My Name is Melissa Gardeski.
I am a Multi-Disciplinary Creative, based in Los Angeles, CA. Graphic and Web Design have historically been my preferred medium, but I have loved working across many different creative arenas over the course of my career.
Originally from Upstate NY, there was only one choice when it came to choosing where to start my career over a decade ago – somewhere where the sun always shines! And while that’s not technically true of LA, I have found a home here where I can continue to build upon past experiences.
If I could be doing anything right now, I would be traveling. I dream of living in London with some of my closest friends. And my biggest regret in life is that teleportation is not a reality. It would be really great if all the people and places that I love could be a mere moment away.
My strongest belief is that there is room for everyone at the table, and that everyone has a unique story to tell. I am so grateful to have been a part of telling so many stories through my work.
I would love to get to know more about what is important to you and how we might be able to work together to tell your story.

In short, I LOVE learning and trying new things. There’s almost nothing I won’t try at least once. And since I was born with the belief that I can do most things at least half way decently when I put my mind to it, I’ve had a career that’s been varied and fun for me and those I work with!
If you’ve gotten this far, now feels like a good time to reemphasize that I would love to get to know more about what is important to you, your business, or your family so we might be able to work together to tell your story.
