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.
