Hi, I’m Chara Meliou, a graphic designer and illustrator focused on minimal design with color, visual identity, and print design. I also write and illustrate children’s books and enjoy building brand experiences through thoughtful visuals. My work blends clean, minimal aesthetics with playful storytelling, and I thrive on collaborating with publishers and small businesses to bring ideas to life. I’m proficient with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, and I love turning concepts into posters, identities, and print-ready visuals. I’m currently collaborating with Diplomart Publishing on children’s book illustration, a partnership I value and continue to pursue.
