Daughter of an eccentric father and conservative mother, Melatan finds her sweet spot somewhere between math and art, numbers and pictures. Originally from Montreal, now living in Toronto, she is currently working at Sid Lee as Senior Art Director / Creative Lead on both local and global design and branding-related projects, for clients such as Red Bull, Marshalls, Sportchek, Dentyne and Moosehead. Past clients include Coca Cola, Honda, Allstream, Perricone MD, Holt Renfrew, Aritzia, Lida Baday, Yorkdale, Azure Magazine and Keilhauer, to name a few. She also runs a lean but internationally-recognized design partnership under the moniker, Clean, which focuses on Identity Design and Branding, Retail, Hospitality, Fashion, Luxury Brands, Packaging and Interactive. Her work has been recognized by the design industry in such publications as AIGA, ADCC, Applied Arts, Coupe, Communication Arts, Graphis, HOW, and The Chicago Athenaeum Good Design Awards, to name a few. In her spare time, Melatan works out of her west end letterpress studio producing short run projects. Outside of art and design, she enjoy bikes, kites and Bukowski. She's currently listening to Girls (sad they recently broke up) and has her sights set on kiteboarding in Panama this winter.
