Hi, I am Julia Zahnd, also known as Mellidore, a graphic designer based currently in Lausanne. After graduating in interactive media design at eikon in Fribourg, I pursued with a bachelor’s degree in visual communication at HEAD Geneva. For the past few years, I have also been working as a freelance graphic designer, which has enabled me to take on a variety of projects and explore multiple media. My practice lies at the intersection of graphic design, type creation, and motion design.
Discover more projects on my Instagram. A full PDF portfolio and resume are available upon request.
Please get in touch for new projects, commissions, collaborations or a coffee/tea break.
