Since 2004, Melissa Delzio(she/her) has been creating print and interactive work for international brands, local businesses, nonprofits and educational institutions. Her work reflects her passion for social and environmental issues, sports, community, travel and history. From designing and art directing a print magazine that highlights interior design in the Pacific Northwest, to art directing a statewide COVID safety campaign, Melissa is as comfortable making digital prototypes as she is billboards. She has led many community projects including publishing two volumes of books about Portland by Portlanders (Our Portland Story) and producing a 50 page creative activity deck for kids with a local nonprofit (Brain Food). A leader in the Portland design community, Melissa served on the board of directors for AIGA and on the Advisory Council. Currently, she is working on the long and arduous process of curating and writing about Portland Design History through research and interviews. She has taught at Portland State University, Pacific Northwest College of Art and has been a regular international design volunteer with USAID.
