Hi! I’m Mellie.

You might be thinking, “Who in the world is this grown-up girl who calls herself a unicorn?”

Well, I’m “Mellie.” Which is short for Melanie. And my last name is literally “Test,” which is especially hilarious when you’re working in the tech world and everyone thinks it’s a fake name or account or reservation — and then deletes or cancels or blocks something!

I’m a professional designer, marketer, artist, and energy worker based in the Crystal and Roaring Fork Valleys (although I also work remotely with delightful, magical clients around the globe). I regularly contribute to a wide range of beautiful businesses and personal clients, sprinkling my magic wherever I go.

I call myself a unicorn because I AM one. I embody joy and innocence in many ways. I’m authentic and I value my integrity, which is why you don’t see me calling myself a “guru” or professing to make you a million dollars in a week.

My depth of skills and talents and interests is unusually broad and deep, so I’m well-equipped to partner with you in exactly the ways YOU need. A brand redesign? Search engine marketing? Copywriting? Website development or maintenance? Illustration? Energy work for your office to increase your team’s productivity?

Richard Rudd, founder of the Gene Keys, says, “Magic is the art of doing nothing outside your own nature. Your brightness flows from your naturalness.”

These words echo why I named my professional presence “MAGIC with Mellie.” It’s why none of my designs or artwork are generic, and every single logo or illustration or portrait embodies and exudes my subject’s pure energetic signature.

I believe we all have unique, magical qualities that we’ve been convinced we need to hide in order to “be successful” in someone else’s eyes. Your energetic signature isn’t visible, but it’s felt.

If you’re hiding who you really are or trying to copy someone else’s path or process or work, others will subconsciously sense the disconnect between what you’re doing and the truth. They’ll feel like something is “off” — and you are!

Without the brightness that comes from your “naturalness,” you’re boring. You’re a cliche. You’re dim. You’re settling for (and showing others) a mere shadow of who you are and what you could accomplish if you allowed yourself to showcase YOU.

Embrace YOUR way. YOUR art. YOUR process. YOUR path.

Everything I do works towards:

1. Clearing the bullsh*t you’re still clinging to and

2. Amplifying the truth.

It may be a piece of artwork that’s coded to support your deepest transformation. Or a new logo that broadcasts who you and your business really are on a deeper level. Or even a pet portrait that supports you in being your true self because our the innocence of our animals reminds us of our own.

If you’re trying to find me in the valley, I spend most weekdays working remotely from (and teaching spin classes in) downtown Aspen. I love company — let’s meet up for a coffee or a lunchtime hike or bike or ski!
