Meet the designer

Hey, I’m Mélanie – though you can call me Mel.

I’m the founder and brand designer behind Sun&Co Studio, where I help positive impact brands affirm their identity with clarity, intention, and premium aesthetics.

My mission?
To translate your vision into a thoughtful and distinctive brand image that speaks to your audience, and supports the impact you want to make.

I’m passionate about branding that’s built to last.
More than just design, I bring a strategic and intuitive approach to each project : combining visual storytelling with in-depth brand thinking.

Why I do what I do

My journey into design didn’t start in a studio : it started with a deep dive into myself.
While I was building skills in marketing and business development during my studies, it was a much more personal path that brought me here…

In 2020, the world slowed down and I found myself in New Zealand, far from home and with time to reflect.
Two years of introspection later, one thing had become crystal clear: I wanted to work with brands that make a difference.
At first, I imagined launching a responsible fashion brand. But as I began sketching ideas, something clicked:
what truly lit me up wasn’t the clothes but the brand behind them.

That’s when I knew:
designing brand identities for mission-driven businesses was what I was meant to do.

Since then, I haven’t stopped. Shops, cafés, conscious brands, inspiring founders…
Wherever I look, I see opportunities to bring stories to life — visually, strategically, and with purpose.

What I stand for

  • Honesty first
    I believe in authentic, human, and transparent communication.
    Every project begins with a real connection, not a cold brief.

  • Aesthetics with purpose
    I design elegant and cohesive visual worlds, always with intention.
    For me, beauty isn’t just aesthetic. It should tell a story, give emotion, serve a mission.

  • Respect for all living things
    I choose to collaborate with brands that care for the planet, for others and for themselves.
    No greenwashing here, just real commitment and purposes with positive impact.

  • Deep listening
    I take time to understand your story, your “why” and your vision.
    I don’t work for my clients. I co-create with them.

  • Clarity as a guiding principle
    A smooth process, a clear direction and aligned decisions every step of the way.

Kind words from happy clients

  • I chose Mélanie to bring to life the complete visual identity of my specialized vintage e-shop. Right from the start, I had a strong feeling she would truly understand the core of my project, and I was absolutely right!

    Every single creative concept she presented was meticulously crafted, perfectly aligned with my wishes and requirements, making it a delightful challenge to pick just one. When it came to the timeline, Mélanie effortlessly adapted to my launch constraints, showing exceptional responsiveness and a proactive attitude. As a result, I now possess a distinctive identity that has already garnered an abundance of positive feedback. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

  • I discovered Mel through a friend who showed me her work, and I was immediately charmed! From our first discovery call, which lasted over 30 minutes, I was impressed by her kindness and ability to listen.

    After our chat, I received a Notion document with questions that enabled me to explore my aspirations for my business in depth. It was very clear and the questions really helped me to project myself into the branding of my brand.

    Four days later, the project was launched, and Mel was able to offer me several options very quickly. I was won over from the very first proposals, and she adjusted the elements perfectly to my needs. Thanks to Mel, my jewellery brand has acquired a new identity, and I can't wait to roll it out! Many thanks for your attentiveness, professionalism and expertise.

    JUSTINE | JOYO JEWELRY

  • Mélanie did an excellent job for my jewellery sales website. Thanks to her advice and attentive listening, she was able to transform my vague ideas into a site that perfectly reflected my vision. Now I just have to create the jewellery before I can launch the site - Mélanie couldn't do that for me!

    I'm delighted with the result and highly recommend her.

    Thank you Mélanie :)
