Melanie Coggio
Graphic Designer / Art Director
Sydney, AustraliaI am a multidisciplinary designer from Sydney with interests in branding and packaging, photography and print making. I began my creative journey studying Photoimaging at Ultimo TAFE. After travelling the world, I was driven to acquire more creative knowledge and went on to study Graphics and Object Design at UNSW Art & Design in Paddington. After transferring to Visual Communication Design at UTS, I was able to further develop my design skills in the fields of design thinking, print design and typography whilst building on my personal brand. I have recently finished my lengthy degree and have begun my journey as a Designer.
