Hello!
Hi!
I’m Mel, the founder and creative force behind Small Hours Studio.
With over a decade of experience working with direct-to-consumer brands, I’ve seen firsthand how messy things can get when a brand grows without a clear visual system. That’s where I come in. I help you make sense of your brand — and make it look damn good in the process.
What I Do
I specialize in brand identity, packaging, and web design for consumer packaged goods. Whether you're launching something new or need to get your existing brand aligned, I zoom out to look at the full picture — every touchpoint, now and down the road.
How I Work
My process is grounded in listening. I start with your story — what makes your brand tick, what challenges you face, and what success looks like to you — then I design visuals that bring it all together.
My goal is to create a design that feels like a perfect fit: bold, functional, and built with your team and tools in mind. I believe great design isn’t just beautiful — it’s strategic, usable, and made to grow with you.
No cookie-cutter solutions here — just thoughtful design rooted in clarity, connection, and a whole lot of colour.

Inspired by stories, snacks, and the small details.
I find inspiration everywhere — in everyday objects, travel, outdoor adventures, and whatever’s currently in my snack drawer. I hold a D.E.P. in graphic design from Dawson College and a Bachelor of Design from OCADU.
If your visuals feel disjointed or your brand isn’t clicking the way it should, I’d love to help. Let’s make something that is easy to use and you’re proud to share!
