Biographie

Having grown up in the coastal Maritime Province of Northern New Brunswick, Melanie has found the ability to find artistic inspiration from the living beauty of her natural surroundings. A few years after graduating from Business Management, Melanie made the move to Tofino, British Columbia. This unique community placed a large emphasis on art, culture, and creativity which made a memorable impact on Melanie’s outlook on the world around her. Near the end of her stay in Tofino, she decided to collaborate her skills in business management with a successful local chef. This collaboration lead to the two of them establishing their own food truck in their hometown of Bathurst, New Brunswick. Throughout the beginning phases of launching Jobie’s Food Truck, Melanie found a hidden passion and talent she had been looking for when creating the design concepts for this new business. As soon as the business was stable, Melanie followed her passion and enrolled herself in Graphic Design at Interdec College in Montreal, Quebec where she currently resides. Melanie is continuously using the energy and diversity found in the city along with the beauty of nature instilled in her roots to inspire and build her portfolio. This unique combination can be seen in the contrast throughout her portfolio such as the rustic binding done by hand, paired with the polished and modern interior.
