Hey There!

My name is Melissa Bostjancic, and I am a graphic designer from Hunterdon County, NJ. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Citation in Honors from Marywood University, where I earned a BFA in Graphic Design and an Illustration minor in the Class of 2025. There, I was a member of a variety of clubs and activities, including the CMYKlub, Zeta Omicron Kappa Pi International Art Honor Society, and NCAA Division III Volleyball team. Over the past few years, I honed my interests in sub-categories of graphic design, such as typography, branding, digital illustration, packaging design, web/social media, and motion graphics. During my senior year, I became especially interested in the art of type design, and centered my Honors Thesis, Hand-Lettered Inspirations for the Graphic Designer, around the combination of hand-lettered typography and graphic design history. In my final semester, I was lucky to be recognized among a community of student and professional graphic designers at the American Advertising Federation (Northeast PA) Awards Ceremony, where I was nominated for a Rising Star Award and won an Honorable Mention Award for a class packaging design project. Through pursuing my passion for art and design through a variety of projects and mediums during my college years, I hope to make a visual impact as I step into an industry setting.
