⬥ Irini Melas⬥
Hello! I'm a community driven creative, committed to developing charming & engrossing stories in a variety of artistic mediums. I am co-founding an indie start-up known as Lumelli Studios to achieve just that!
​
I specialise in creative direction, producing, 2D mediums, and community management, with a background of freelance work, and over 6 years of experience in illustration & storytelling.
​
I graduated with a Bachelor of Animation in May 2023, and was appointed as SAE’s 2023 Valedictorian, receiving 3 academic awards. Since graduating, I was also an IGEA 2023 Smart Program Mentorship Recipient, where I was coached by industry professionals, inspiring me to develop a business mindset and complete a Postgraduate Diploma in Business in 2024 at AIE.
​
I'm really passionate about fostering a culture of support, accessibility & growth for emerging developers, and love being a part of panels, podcasts, interviews, livestreams & more!
