Melinda Vieira

Mel is just your average graphic designer trying to get you to buy things you may not want. Or trying to get other people to buy your things. View her work at this other site.
She often walks around picking up strange pieces of trash on the ground. She turns that trash into jewelry.
Her reason for this adventure is a lack of a real job and the need to leave her hometown. She hopes to find gainful employment in the frozen wastelands of Alaska.
