Melissa Mahoney is the Founder and Principal of Indigo Creative
Melissa has a passion for design and branding as well as formal training. She earned a Bachelors of Fine Arts in graphic design from the University of Georgia. Melissa went on to study calligraphy and hand-lettering in Cortona, Italy.
Her artistic and hand lettering skills dovetail custom logo type and logo-mark creation that she does for clients.
In addition to design and branding, Melissa is an abstract painter. She utilizes large, handmade calligraphy brushes to create abstract paintings.
Both domestic and international collectors include Mahoney’s work in their portfolios. The US State Department selected one of her paintings for the US Ambassador’s Residence in Papua New Guinea. At TED2020 and at the TED2020 Staff Retreat, she led hands-on abstract painting discovery sessions.
