Melissa Harans Graphic Design Portfolio
 
 
 

Most days you’ll find me in a sunny guest-bedroom-turned-home-office, where my desk is neatly cluttered with sticky notes of to-do lists and cups of nearly-black coffee.

There, I collaborate with my clients, and lead a small team of talented like-minded designers, dreaming up beautiful and creative solutions that deliver measurable ROI.


The backstory

After graduating from Lehigh University with a dual degree in journalism and graphic design (I love words almost as much as I love design!), I landed an entry-level job as a junior graphic designer at a national digital marketing agency in Baltimore. From there, I worked my way up, eventually relocating to Philly to join the Free People corporate team as a Graphic Designer. I spent more than five years there, learning the ins and outs of retail marketing, while pursuing graphic design freelance on nights and weekends, before deciding to shift my focus to my studio full time in 2020.

Fast-Forward

Today, the studio (which holds my maiden name of Harans), has grown to a bustling powerhouse of design, where creativity meets strategy. At our core is an inspirational, not aspirational, mindset - crafting distinctly unique brands and visuals tailored for each client’s goals.


Our client work focuses on women-led businesses, servicing some of the top content creators, women entrepreneurs, and lifestyle brands, but I’m always looking for exciting new projects and inspiring people to collaborate with.
