006 // Melody Hansen // Finding Your Voice

Melody is an amazing artist and illustrator and all around creative individual. She is also a musician and along with her sister, they make music under the name band name SONAGUR. Give them a listen and check out their videos - they are super cool!

Oh, they also have a creative agency that focuses on building creative campaigns for a variety of companies. Talented siblings, right?

Melody has an interesting story that I think a lot of young creatives will be able to relate to and learn from. Like many people when graduating high-school (myself included), Melody didn’t know exactly what it was she wanted to do. Despite being a talented visual artist and gaining early admission to OCAD for Graphic Design, she left the program not long after she began, feeling unfulfilled and uncertain that it was a good fit. From there she decided to give freelance design and illustration a go, while continuing to create and develop her own art, which eventually got a substantial amount of recognition.

She is about to re-locate from Toronto, Canada to LA in the upcoming months in order to continue developing her art and all of her other creative endeavours, which is a super exciting opportunity.

In this episode, Melody gives us a look into what she thinks about, and what inspirations go into the art that she makes as well as gives us a very unique look into one of her pieces of art and what it was that inspired her when creating the piece.
