Julia Melograna is an illustrator, art director, and maker-at-heart. With over 12 years of advertising industry experience, she helped brands tell their stories everywhere from the biggest billboard in Times Square to the smallest mobile ad you’ve ever seen.

She believes in the power of an idea, no matter the platform, to connect with people. Behind all the technology, trends, algorithms, and new media, there are still the hearts of human beings to be won over. And she’ll be there, with pen and paper (or pixels and tablet).

Some clients she’s worked with in the past include Google, Samsung, IKEA, Chase, General Electric, Royal Caribbean, Hasbro, Modelez, Old Navy, Tripadvisor, and Dave & Busters.
