Melissa Qin [秦雅若] is a student at Carnegie Mellon University, studying Communications Design with minors in Product Management and Human-Computer Interaction.

She's fascinated by design as a means to tell different stories. Passionate about connecting aesthetics to strategy, as well as creating empathetic and exciting systems that can unravel into conversations, she gives a voice to things that we leave unsaid.

More specifically, Melissa has an affinity for experimental color usage, thoughtful typography, dynamic motion, and general pixel-perfection. She also loves reading books on the beach, fashion, malatang, the transition between summer and fall, collecting printed ephemera, cafe-hopping, and making playlists for oddly specific feelings. Ask her about the clothes she steals from her mom or her fat, evil cat.
